Overview

Entrepreneur First (EF) Bangalore is part of a global talent investor and accelerator that specializes in supporting ambitious individuals who want to build technology startups from scratch. Unlike traditional accelerators that work with existing startups, EF focuses on bringing together highly talented individuals who may not yet have a co-founder or even a specific idea but who possess the drive and capability to create impactful companies.

Located in Bangalore, one of India's most vibrant tech hubs, EF Bangalore offers a unique program that spans over six months. The program begins with a "Form" stage, where participants are matched with co-founders and start brainstorming ideas. This is followed by the "Launch" stage, where the newly formed teams rapidly develop their ideas, validate them in the market, and prepare for fundraising. Successful teams receive seed funding from EF and gain access to EF’s global network of mentors, advisors, and investors.

One of the standout features of EF Bangalore is its focus on deep tech, AI, and software startups, making it an ideal environment for technically skilled founders. The program provides unparalleled support in areas such as product development, market fit, and scaling, ensuring that participants are well-equipped to build and grow high-impact companies.

Entrepreneur First has a strong track record of success, with many of its alumni going on to raise significant follow-on funding and building companies that make a real difference in their industries. For individuals who are passionate about building something from scratch and are looking for a co-founder, EF Bangalore offers an unmatched opportunity.
