Entrepreneur First (EF) invests in exceptional individuals to enable them to build start-ups from scratch. EF brings together talented outliers to develop their most ambitious ideas and raise money from the world’s best investors.
Since pioneering Talent Investing in 2014, EF has learned to recognize individuals with extraordinary futures before anyone else, embedding them in a community of ambitious peers and giving them the tools they need to succeed, fast. EF backs them before they have a company, a team, even before they have an idea, based purely on talent.
The start-ups cofounded on the programs are now worth over $10B, and include Tractable, Magic Pony Technology, Cleo, La Vie, Aztec, Sonantic, and many more. EF is backed by some of the world’s leading founders and investors, including Patrick and John Collison (Stripe); Reid Hoffman (LinkedIn), Tom Blomfield (GoCardless and Monzo), Sara Clemens (Whatnot and Twitch); Demis Hassabis (Google DeepMind); and Matt Mullenweg (WordPress). EF exists to make great companies happen that otherwise wouldn’t.
