Founding Cohort

A selective path inside the broader FacPro Community.

The community stays open and useful for practitioners. The 2026 founding cohort is a smaller working group of facility leaders helping shape the benchmarking standard behind the platform, starting with K-12 and extending to adjacent institutional teams where the fit is strong.

Who this is for

We are looking for facility teams that want more than a login. K-12 districts are the first focus, but higher education, government, healthcare, nonprofit, utility, and other institutional operators may also fit when they bring real asset inventory, condition, deficiency, and capital planning questions into the work.

For 2026, we are starting with a focused pilot group so the work stays hands-on and useful. The free community path stays open to everyone, even if the cohort is not the right next step yet.

Shape the benchmark

Bring structure to messy data

Get closer to the roadmap

Cohort feedback influences training, resources, reporting, and the next generation of CapPlan intelligence.

Free founding year

Accepted organizations receive full access during the founding year.

Peer benchmarking

Cohort members help make facility data comparable across districts.

How it fits

Community first. Cohort when there is a strong mutual fit.

If you want learning, resources, events, and practitioner connection, start with the community. If your organization is ready to help define a practical facility benchmarking standard, use the signup form and select Founding member as your interest.
