Entrepreneur First cover

About Entrepreneur First

Entrepreneur First, also known as EF, is a company builder and early investor. Instead of waiting for finished teams, it selects talented individuals, helps them find a cofounder and supports them as they start companies from scratch.

What Entrepreneur First does

  • Cofounder matching: a screened pool of candidates and advice on who to pair with and how to test a partnership.
  • Cohort programmes: founders join a group of peers at one of the firm's offices.
  • Residential retreat: a weekend kick-off for the founding journey.
  • Early investment: it backs founders at the very start, before an idea is settled.
  • US access: an adviser on the ground and a San Francisco partner to help enter the US market.

Who it serves

Individuals at the start of their founding journey, some with an idea and some still choosing one.

Key facts

  • Cohort cities: Berlin, London, Paris, Bangalore, Singapore and Toronto
  • Specialist pathways: graduate, Web3, climate and introductory
  • Community events: build retreats and hackathons
