Entrepreneurs First backs individuals before a company exists, helping them find a co-founder, develop an idea and form a business with a path into the US startup market.

Its matching process introduces candidates screened for complementary skills and working styles. Founders test potential partnerships through retreats, local cohorts and company-building work, with a dedicated adviser and a San Francisco-based partner.

EF offers an equity-free grant during ideation and up to $250,000 of investment after company formation. Support for the US phase includes office space, customer development, incorporation and relocation guidance, fundraising preparation and a San Francisco Demo Day.
