Optimize teams

F4S measures and tracks team culture and points out where students’ motivations align and where there may be conflict. All of this helps optimize founding team collaboration.

Predict success

Armed with extensive data benchmarked against our success models, you can make informed predictions about which programs students and teams will thrive in.

Invite students to take our free F4S assessment.
