Our take
Entrepreneur First is a “talent investor” that recruits and backs individuals pre-team and pre-idea to enable them to found startups.
The company pioneered this new model of talent investing. While other accelerators typically back founders with semi-established businesses, EF was the first to back individuals and match them with other founders during the program.
The company already has a great portfolio of investments, including Cleo, CloudNC and Permutive.
