Overview

Entrepreneur First (EF) in the USA operates with the same innovative model that has made it a global leader in talent investing. Based in New York, the U.S. branch of EF focuses on bringing together exceptional individuals from across North America to create high-impact startups. Unlike traditional accelerators, EF doesn't require participants to have a team or even a fully formed idea when they join. Instead, the program helps individuals find co-founders, develop their ideas, and rapidly build startups from the ground up. Over several months, participants receive mentorship, funding, and access to EF's extensive global network of investors and industry experts. The program concludes with a Demo Day, where newly formed companies pitch to potential investors, laying the groundwork for future success. Entrepreneur First in the USA is known for its unique approach, enabling ambitious people to become founders and create startups that have the potential to make a significant global impact. This approach allows EF to tap into a vast pool of untapped potential, transforming it into successful startups that are primed for growth. For those interested in learning more about the innovative model that drives Entrepreneur First, check out their Talent Investing Model.

Throughout the program, participants receive comprehensive support, including mentorship, funding, and access to EF's extensive global network of investors and industry experts. Over the course of several months, these individuals work intensively to develop their startups, moving from idea to execution with the guidance of seasoned mentors who provide critical insights into scaling a business.
