Overview
Entrepreneurs First (EF) is a talent investor that builds cofounding teams from scratch. It helps founders find their optimal cofounder through a unique matching process, supports them from emerging idea to first revenue, and connects global talent to the startup ecosystem through offices in London, Paris, Bangalore, and San Francisco. EF's portfolio companies are backed by investors including Sequoia, Andreessen Horowitz, Softbank, and Khosla Ventures, and together are worth over $16B.
History
Entrepreneurs First was started over a decade ago, after seeing many talented future founders become lost to the status quo. Outside of Silicon Valley, entrepreneurship is rarely seen as a viable route for ambitious individuals. EF's goal is to liberate talented people from artificial limits, reframe what's possible, and help them shape the world in more profound ways. It does this by building cohorts of exceptional peers, curated from leading academic institutions and tech communities around the world, and supporting them to become globally ambitious founders.
