One of the most counterintuitive things about Entrepreneur First is that we don’t select individuals based on their ideas. We don’t even ask them about their ideas at selection. Why? Ideation is a process that you can learn. Here's some of the common pitfalls founders should avoid:
Alice Bentinck Entrepreneur First Matt Clifford Huge congrats Alice Bentinck. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again (and again), EF was the single most transformational thing I’ve ever done in my life. I’ll be eternally grateful for you guys taking a chance on me and the life skills I learn in such a short space of time.
Alice Bentinck Entrepreneur First Matt Clifford Watching you operate together over the years has been wildly impressive. You set a high bar for what a world class and complimentary cofounding relationship looks like. Really excited for what’s ahead for Entrepreneur First - few missions matter more.
I announced the launch of our San Francisco Hub this morning on Bloomberg and Caroline Hyde. Thanks for having me! We're now relocating our companies to SF once they've formed in London, Paris, Bangalore and New York. An exciting next chapter for them and Entrepreneur First.
