How it works
Step 4

Getting funded

The second half of the platform, known as ‘Launch’, focusses on accelerating your company’s growth and finding funding.

After your company passes Investment Committee, you’ll proceed to the next stage in our platform known as ‘Launch’, and receive your investment into your company from Entrepreneur First. 

Our investment

Terms of our Investment

If you are successful at the Investment Committee, at the start of Launch, we will make our first investment in your company. We invest:

  • £80,000 in London
  • € 90,000 in Paris and Berlin
  • US$75,000 in Bangalore

along with the stipends paid in the first part of the platform, for 10% of your company.

IN-HOUSE EXPERTISE AND DEDICATED ADVISORS

Every team in Launch is allocated their own advisor from our Global Advisory Network.

Our advisors are successful entrepreneurs who have scaled and sold tech companies for hundreds of millions of dollars. They’ll push you to grow your business, and offer expert advice on product, customers and investment.

You’ll also have a dedicated member of our Launch team who will be responsible for making sure you get the full benefit of the experience, expertise and resources we offer.

GETTING FUNDED

Access to the world's best investors.

We give you the opportunity to meet some of the world’s top early stage investors, helping you to set the groundwork to establish partnerships on better terms.

Based on the traction and progress you’ve achieved, we’ll bring the right investors to you and help you to streamline your fundraising process.
