Ecosystem partners, groups, workshops, and financial education
Ecosystem partners
Lawyers, accountants, fractional CFOs, and angels — plus a place to list yourself. The directory is shared across the ecosystem, so it has its own page.
Groups
Membership is self-identified and private. FEB never infers who belongs in one of these, never adds anyone, and does not publish who has joined — groups exist so programming can be built with the people it is for.
Women founders
Founders and operators who identify as women.
84 members · self-identified
First-time founders
First company, first raise, first payroll.

Workshops, events, and education
Programming FEB runs directly. Whether any of it counts toward a Community Reinvestment Act record is a determination the bank’s compliance and regulatory owners make — this screen only describes what is being run.
Prototype · integration note
The Bay Area alone runs thousands of founder events, and the planners already keep them in their own tools. In production this list would be pulled from those by API — Luma, Partiful, Eventbrite — rather than rebuilt here, so FEB surfaces the ecosystem instead of re-entering it. A vendor question, not a screen to build.
