We are looking for an investor to join our investment team in San Francisco.

Entrepreneurs First (EF) turns exceptional individuals into funded founders. We back the best technical founders from across the globe pre-cofounder, pre-team and pre-idea and give them a bridge to Silicon Valley. Once they arrive in Silicon Valley, your job begins. You will deliver a 3 month program (Launch) that accelerates company building and prepares founders to raise their seed. Since opening our SF office in early 2024, EF-backed founders have raised from the very best seed and multi-stage funds at top quartile seed valuations.

This is a great opportunity to break into investing with an uncapped potential for growth. Work with founders building sector-defining companies, and join to build a long-term career in VC.

Who you are

• Founder, Product or VC experience: Minimum of 3+ years as a founder, early stage employee or an investor, with a strong understanding of the startup and fundraising landscape.
• Master Connector: You excel at building relationships, expanding your network, and making meaningful introductions that create value.
• Team player: Exceptional verbal and written skills to engage and influence diverse stakeholders.
• Strategic & Tactical Balance: You balance long-term vision with hands-on execution, seamlessly transitioning between strategy and action.
• You take ownership of your work and growth: You thrive in a high-trust, low-touch environment, taking full ownership of your work and proactively solving challenges with well-thought-out solutions.

Youll thrive in this role if...

• You excel in a fast-paced, ever-evolving environment that requires a proactive mindset. You are comfortable shaping your own role and EF offering in order to best serve our founders.
• You are ready to go from day 1. Succeeding in this role will involve diving headfirst and being hungry for responsibility to make an impact fast.
• You value working closely with founders. This involves spending most of your time at our SF office and at occasional evening or weekend events.

The role

This is a unique opportunity to join our San Francisco office and support the worlds most exceptional Founders as they prepare to launch their companies to pitch to top-tier investors.

Partnering with our existing team, you will deliver our Launch program, equipping our portfolio companies with the tools, insights, and connections needed to successfully fundraise in the Bay Area. The program culminates in Demo Day, where Founders present their companies to an exclusive audience of VC and angel investors.

This is a high-impact, strategic role offering autonomy, ownership, and the opportunity to shape the success of some of the worlds most promising early-stage companies. We are a global company and as part of your role you will be expected to occasionally travel to Europe and India.

Supporting Founders

• Go above and beyond in helping founders land their first customers, finetune their value proposition and understand the US landscape.
• Facilitate high-value introductions to top VCs and angel investors, helping Founders expand their networks and secure funding.
• Provide in-depth guidance on the fundraising process, covering investment terms, documentation, and best practices for leading investor discussions.

Managing the Launch Program

• Serve as the primary point of contact for Founders relocating to San Francisco for Launch
• Immerse Founders in the Bay Area investor ecosystem and equip them with essential fundraising knowledge.
• Design and execute a structured schedule of events, workshops, and speaker sessions to immerse Founders in the Bay Area investor ecosystem and equip them with essential fundraising knowledge.

Establish an EF Community in SF

• Cultivate a thriving EF Alumni network in SF, creating a support system for incoming Founders and strengthening investor relationships.
• Organize community events, meetups, and networking opportunities to connect Alumni across cohorts.
• Act as a bridge between new Founders and the existing EF network, ensuring a seamless integration into the SF ecosystem.
• Ownership: The chance to shape and grow this role, progressing fast based on your ambition rather than length of tenure.
• Vibrant Workspace: A buzzing SF office filled with ambitious minds solving world-changing problems.
• Attractive salary with performance-based incentives.
• The opportunity to participate in our EF Equity Scheme.
• Generous vacation allowance, including a two-week global office closure over the end of year holidays.
• A Learning & Development allowance to purchase any product or service that will contribute to your personal or professional development.
• Enhanced parental leave, plus broader leave policies. We care about our team and enabling the right balance between home and working life.
