The audience

Verified students. Trusted brand. Long-form access.

Founders for Students is a gated platform giving verified university students free access to the Decoding AI Builders archive, archetype profiles, and journey-stage analysis. Students sign in with a .edu email. They show up because the content is worth their time, not because we paid for the click.

Pilot partnerships are in motion with CITRIS at Berkeley and the AI program at AUC. The audience is small and selective on purpose. Students self-identify as wanting to build, not just learn.

Partnership shapes

Three ways to work together.

Anchor partner

One brand. Co-branded inside Founders for Students for a full academic term, with named placement, a dedicated student onboarding series, and direct access to the founder community.

Best for: companies wanting deep, exclusive presence with the next university cohort.

Tiered sponsorship

Multiple brands, modular placements: featured-tool integrations inside the analytical layer, sponsored career sessions, or co-branded archive segments. Smaller commitment, narrower scope.

Best for: companies with a specific student funnel or product education goal.

Co-investment

You invest in the program (audience growth, pilot expansion, content production) and share in the outcomes: branded research, joint reports, or co-published findings from the founder interview corpus.

Best for: companies whose value to students is reinforced by being part of the work, not adjacent to it.
