Built for FBLA students, by an FBLA student.
FBLA One started as a Google Drive folder. It got out of hand. Now it's a real platform.
The origin
I'm Vinay Batra, a sophomore at Council Rock High School South and the Competition Chair of our FBLA chapter. Every year our chapter has the same problem: members sign up for events but no one really knows what each event is about, what the test covers, or where to find good study resources. The information lives in scattered PDFs, last year's Drive folder, and the memories of seniors who are about to graduate.
The original plan for FBLA officer meeting on August 25, 2026 was modest: build a shared Drive folder with a doc per competition. But a Drive folder doesn't track who's preparing, doesn't remind anyone of deadlines, and doesn't scale to other chapters. So I'm building this instead.
The plan
Pilot at Council Rock South this year. Use it ourselves. Find what breaks. Get advisor buy-in. Then open it up to other chapters nationally. There are 230,000+ FBLA members across the country — every chapter has the same problem we did.
FBLA One is free for every student and every chapter, forever. No paywall, no per-seat creep, no dark patterns, no selling student data. Just a tool that makes competing in FBLA easier.
What I believe
Three principles.
The product opinions baked into every screen.
Free for everyone, forever.
No student or chapter should have to pay to compete in FBLA. The platform stays free. Always.
No fluff. No filler content.
Every page should be one a real student would open before regionals. If it's not useful, it doesn't ship.
Built in public, fast.
Solo build, deploying continuously, getting feedback from real users at CRHS South. No corporate roadmap, no quarterly planning - just ship and learn.
