Campus Founder Program

Want to bring College Marketplace to Arizona State?

We're looking for one student at Arizona State to be the College Marketplace Campus Founder. You introduce it to your school, and if the school licenses it, you earn a commission on the deal.

Open the door

Help identify the right contact in your school's administration and make an introduction. Your connection can start the conversation about a school license.

Give us the inside view

Help us understand your school's priorities, decision process, and campus organizations so we can approach the right people and shape a pilot that fits.

What you get

  • A commission on the deal if your school licenses College Marketplace
  • Real business development experience
  • A direct reference from the founder
  • First access once your school goes live

Commission amount and terms are discussed on the intro call. The commission is tied to a successful school signing, not student sign-ups or ongoing marketplace revenue.

A note from the founder

"I'm a Division I soccer player at Butler. Between seasons I got fed up with how bad Facebook Marketplace was for campus stuff — sketchy buyers, no way to know if someone was actually a student, listings from three states away. So I built something better — every account is verified with a .edu email, so you always know who you're dealing with. Now I'm pursuing licensing deals with school administrations. I need Campus Founders to help me find the right contacts, make introductions, and support those conversations — not recruit student users."

The playbook

How a school licensing deal comes together

Every school makes decisions differently. You'll help us navigate yours, while the founder leads the pitch and licensing conversations.

Find the right contact

Identify the administrator or office that could champion College Marketplace and help us understand who needs to be involved in a licensing decision.

Make the introduction

Connect the founder with your contact through a warm email or meeting. Explain why the conversation matters for your school and help get it on the calendar.

Support the pitch

Share campus context, explain how students buy and sell today, and help us understand your school's priorities. The founder handles the product pitch and licensing terms.

Help get the deal over the line

Stay involved after the first meeting. Help with follow-ups, connect additional stakeholders, and keep us informed about next steps as your school works toward a decision.

Know someone at another school? Campus Founders can also earn a referral commission when they introduce another student who becomes a Campus Founder and that school signs. Details are shared on your intro call.

Who we're looking for

Campus Founders are students with real access to school administration — or a credible path to an introduction. We're looking for people who understand their campus and can help us reach the people who make decisions.

  • Student government members, Greek life officers, club presidents, and RAs
  • Business or entrepreneurship majors with meaningful administration connections
  • Comfortable making professional introductions and speaking with administrators
  • Reliable follow-through and a genuine interest in helping your school license the platform

One Campus Founder per school

We're intentionally selective. Each Campus Founder gets real support and meaningful responsibility in their school's licensing conversations.

After submitting, we review every application. If you're a strong fit, we'll reach out to schedule a short 15-minute intro call.
