Entrepreneurs First is a 6-month program split into FORM (12 weeks) and LAUNCH (12 weeks) that uniquely invests in talented individuals rather than existing companies, helping founders find cofounders and develop ideas from scratch. Participants receive a living stipend during FORM, then a pre-seed investment, and relocate to San Francisco for LAUNCH, culminating in a Demo Day. The program offers $250k SAFEs and $10k equity-free funding with offices in SF, London, and Bangalore, and the portfolio of EF-cofounded startups is now worth over $11 billion.
