The BfE Cambridge Chapter was founded in Autumn 2015 at the University of Cambridge. Founders Shaun Teo and Tanya Chiaranussati travelled to Dar es Salaam, Tanzania in 2015 to help run a social entrepreneurship programme for East African startups. It was there that they witnessed the power of social entrepreneurs to scale bottom-up solutions that addressed local challenges. They also recognized the pitfalls many face, with relatively fewer resources and financial support, and wanted to make it easier for more social entrepreneurs to create impact and become investor-ready.
They created BfE to aid these local entrepreneurs while providing a platform for students to bridge the gap between career success and making a difference in the world. Five years later, BfE Cambridge has done that and more. The chapter has worked with over 100 different students across multiple disciplines, dozens of passionate entrepreneurs around the world, and forged new partnerships with social impact ecosystem players. While they initially connected external student consulting societies with BFE clients, the Cambridge Chapter shifted to a full-suite internal model in 2018. The chapter now provides consulting, finance, legal and technical advisory services to social entrepreneurs, in addition to its four other teams that support the chapter.
