Entrepreneur First

Ambitious individuals leave places like Google, Goldman Sachs and Stanford to join EF. Why? Because starting a startup is the highest impact thing you can do with your life.

EF is the best place to find a co-founder, build a company and access the world’s best investors. We've helped build over 140 technology companies, collectively worth over $1bn.

We believe the world’s most important companies are created when smart, committed, and diverse individuals come together and form a breakthrough insight.

With each cohort at EF, we bring together extraordinary people to form companies with ambitious and unique visions for the future. EF helps these entrepreneurs — from the very beginning of their journey — to form teams, choose a problem to work on, develop a differentiated approach, and fundraise from the world's best investors.

Since 2011, we have built and funded more deep tech startups than any other investor. Magic Pony Technology was one of the largest AI exits of 2016, and the 140+ startups we have built are now worth more than $1 billion. EF is your best shot to build a globally important company.

We are backed by Reid Hoffman, Greylock Partners, Mosaic Ventures, Founders Fund, Lakestar Capital, and Deep Mind founders Demis Hassabis and Mustafa Suleyman.
