Ideas Deserve a Path Forward
Start with a problem you have noticed and describe it in your own words.
Students and first-time founders
Start with a plain-language description of a problem you have noticed. IFB reviews it, helps you work out what support you need, and introduces you to suitable partners only when you say so.
I have an idea but do not know where to start? That is a perfectly good place to be. The form asks simple questions and shows examples as you go.
What you get
- A private idea workspace with draft saving
- Guided prompts in plain English
- Requests for the support you need, reviewed by IFB
- Introductions that you approve first
Your idea stays yours
Your full idea submission is private by default. You choose whether and with whom to share more details.
- Private by default. No public idea listing.
- Partners see a summary only after you authorize an introduction.

- IFB does not imply legal IP protection or an automatic NDA. Decide carefully what to share, and when.
