I’m proud to be re-investing in this round alongside @ZehanWang and find deep satisfaction in getting to help others build companies much more exciting and impressive than ours as a Venture Partner at @join_ef. @join_ef‘s flywheel is only just getting started!

I was honestly extremely skeptical of @join_ef when I started. How were a bunch of inexperienced strangers going to build valuable startups? But within 18 months @ZehanWang & I had not only built an extremely close relationship but a >$100M company as well.

It’s hard to understate how different my life might have been without EF. Not only would I likely have never met @ZehanWang (despite us both being at @imperialcollege at the same time) but without @Alicebentinck’s encouragement, I might not have even become an entrepreneur...
Why we raised a $158m Series C https://t.co/BFclwgwWNt One great thing about this round is getting to bring in to @join_ef as investors people I've admired for many years - people like @patrick_oshag @eladgil @mattjackrob @t_blom to name just a few. Excited for this chapter!

Congratulations to @matthewclifford, @Alicebentinck & the @join_ef team on their $158M Series C! I'm also excited to be re-investing in back into EF. I would probably not have met my co-founder @Rob_Bishop & started Magic Pony Technology otherwise 🌈🐎 https://t.co/sxLnJMkln8

We're super excited to unveil our investment in @LottieLab_! Watch the video below to see what some of our amazing co-investors like @matthewclifford, @destraynor, @TYehoshua, @collinmathilde, @HarryStebbings had to say. @alistairthoms @drewosophy are on 🔥🔥🔥.
I think @Chrija says it best - "When it comes to animations, there really is no simple tool yet" - enter @LottieLab_ 💥 Drew & Ali are execution machines with a sexy af product 🚀 @20vcFund made a little vid with some co-investor legends about why we're so hyped 👇

This is so true. One of the things I love about @join_ef: you *cannot* be too early for us. We fund individuals pre-cofounder, often pre-idea, purely on the basis of talent.
VC companies: "We invest in pre-idea, pre-revenue companies" What they really mean:

Almost 1/3 of Americans have had a startup idea in the last 5 years but few act on it. Even basic web research is only done by 50% of potential founders. We need to teach folks that doing research & conducting experiments is how you start & reduce risk without fully committing.

Entrepreneur First cohorts 50, 51, 52, and 53 started today. Doesn’t feel that long ago that 5 seemed a very big number.
Today is Day 1 of tomorrow's most exciting companies. We welcomed over 200 exceptional individuals to build impactful startups with our latest cohorts in Berlin, London, Paris and Toronto. BE8, LD17, PA7 and TO2 - let's go.

@justinkan @paulg 'Applications are basically closed, but we might take on another person to the cohort. Just apply to @join_ef. I mean... why not?' - my mate Dominik after a few pints. A week later I was chatting to @zefi. Now I'm building my dream company.
