A Note from Our Founder
“I built this platform because I realized so many young founders are struggling with meeting others just like them. Additionally, people would always ask me to connect them to other driven people, so I figured I’d just skip the middle man and let them meet each other!”
-Alex Schoss, Founder & CEO
What’s Next?
As we roll out across top universities and cities worldwide, you can expect:
1) More immersive experiences (retreats, dinners, competitions)
2) New platform features (messaging, cofounder matching, mentor access, and more)
3) Deepening partnerships with VCs, universities, and innovation hubs
Whether you're interested in starting a startup at some point, launching your first startup, or scaling your fifth, YFF is your new home base.
