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.
