Founders Workbench exists primarily to relay the legal expertise of Goodwin Procter toward early-stage entrepreneurs by giving them free, easy access to the organizational and legal documents necessary for starting a company. Within the context of Goodwin Procter, the site was also designed to communicate that Goodwin Procter understands the hurdles to entrepreneurship and the resources needed to overcome them. This plan was successful: since the site's release, both it and Goodwin Procter have gained a loyal following within the entrepreneurial community<ref>http://blog.onenorth.com/2013/04/25/new-founders-workbench-helps-entrepreneurs-kick-start-their-business-ventures/#.UkxSO99hI54</ref>.
 
According to Lee Feldman, Director of Communications at Goodwin Procter, "We do have mechanisms on the web site that allow entrepreneurs to submit specific questions, and in some cases, these conversations result in Goodwin Procter engagements. However, Founders Workbench’s central goal is to support and engage with the larger startup community. The site was always intended as a standalone support mechanism for the startup community, not a sales development tool."

These existing groups may also benefit from providing state-specific forms and resources as a local supplement to the national-scale forms that Doc Driver already provides. Ideally, a campus could effectively provide local legal assistance on incorporation and organization, tailoring the assistance provided by Founders Workbench to each campus's locale. This would not only assist entrepreneurs in focusing on their specific creative or technical challenges, but would also encourage founders to start up and remain in the university's local area instead of fleeing to an existing entrepreneurial hotbed.
 
Campuses can become directly involved with Founders Workbench by submitting guest blog posts about their programs and events; FWB also welcomes feedback from programs and entrepreneurs.
