Reid Hoffman - Co-founder, LinkedIn

Companies founded at EF have been backed by...

From strangers
to unicorn co-founders.

Alex and Razvan met at Entrepreneur First in 2015. Now, the company they co-founded, Tractable, is worth $1B.

It has over 200 employees across three continents, and customers include industry heavyweights Ageas, Covéa and Tokio Marine – some of the largest insurers in the world. The company today is well into 8-figure revenue, and has grown 600% in the past 24 months.

How does our programme work?

Application

Admission to EF is highly competitive; we’re looking for evidence that you can build a billion dollar company.

Preparation

If you’re one of the few offered a place, you’ll be invited to a kick-off event. You’ll start exploring partnerships and ideas before the programme even starts.

Find your co-founder

For three months, we pay you to trial potential co-founders, and develop an idea you’re uniquely positioned to build.

Pitch for investment

You’ll pitch your business to our investment committee for pre-seed funding. We’ll fund you if we believe you’re on a path for global success.

Launch

If we decide to fund you, you and your co-founder will spend the next three months launching your startup. You’ll have a dedicated, world-leading venture partner, and we’ll introduce you to some of the world’s top investors.
