Entrepreneur First - Analyst

About Entrepreneur First : 

- Entrepreneur First was founded in 2011 by Alice Bentinck and Matt Clifford with the aim of enabling the world's most ambitious people to build the most important companies, and that is still true today. We are the world's leading talent investor; we invest time and money in outstanding individuals, helping them find a co-founder, develop an idea, and start a technology company from scratch.

- Across our programmes in Europe and Asia, to date we have helped over 1,200 individuals build more than 200 companies, with a total valuation of $1.5 billion. EF's companies have been funded by many of the leading venture investors in Europe, Asia and Silicon Valley. Our major exits to date include Magic Pony Technology which was acquired by Twitter for a reported $150m only 18 months after the Founders met on the EF programme.

- EF itself is backed by some of the world's best investors, including the founders of LinkedIn, DeepMind and PayPal and runs cohorts in London, Singapore, Hong Kong, Berlin, Paris and Bangalore.
