Preparing for Entrepreneur First

Yes – Entrepreneur First is based in London, Singapore, Toronto, Bangalore, Paris and Berlin (whichever is closest to you).

People we select relocate to join us from all over the world. In some locations we can offer support to help you apply for a visa if required and to help you settle into the regions. There’s no commitment to stay in any of those locations after the cohort ends, though most of our alumni do.

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we understand that travel restrictions will impact founders’ ability to relocate.

The safety of our founders and the communities in which we operate are our top priority, and we are continually monitoring the situation and running our platforms remotely. We do expect to return to an in-person cohort once it is safe to do so, and founders will be asked to relocate when they are able to.

Many people considering joining Entrepreneur First attend our invitation-only events. If we make you an offer to join we’ll invite you to a cohort meetup and give you a login to your cohort dashboard loaded with everyone’s searchable profiles. We take cohort composition seriously – every offer is made based on degrees of likelihood that you’ll meet a suitable cofounder.

The safety and comfort of our cohort is our top priority, as well as ensuring we’re contributing to efforts to contain the spread of the virus. We’re keeping a close eye on local and international restrictions and cases, and making informed decisions on how we run all elements of the platform, including kick-off weekends, be that remotely or in person. 

We have successfully run in-person and covid-compliant kick-off weekends since the pandemic began, taking measures including enforcing two metre spacing, compulsory mask wearing and doing activities outside where possible.
