Entrepreneurs First are directly reaching out to exceptional individuals in Jack’s network for their 2026 founder programs. If you’re selected, it is an opportunity to find a co-founder, get £250k in pre-seed funding, meet global investors, and build in San Francisco.
You might have an early idea, or be testing a co-founder. You might have nothing yet. EF wants to back you, and your potential. Take the first step and talk to Jack.
“Without Entrepreneurs First there would be no Sonantic, as I wouldn’t have met Zeena. Eternally grateful.”
Entrepreneurs First runs what they call a 'talent investor' model: they recruit ambitious individuals—engineers, scientists, designers—before they've formed a startup, then help them find co-founders, develop ideas, and get funded. Unlike traditional accelerators that admit existing teams, EF bets on people first. They've built a track record of creating companies from scratch and offer a bridge to Silicon Valley for their cohort founders. Based in London with a global footprint, EF has become a major force in early-stage company formation, attracting people who want to build something significant but haven't yet found the right co-founder or problem to tackle.
Talk to Jack and he’ll help you get considered for the roles below, or anything else that fits what you’re looking for.
