A few weeks ago I attended the latest pitch event by Entrepreneur First (EF) whereby their latest cohort of super bright academics spoke about the ventures they were hoping to build.
EF are unique in the sense that they don’t look to back businesses as much as to back bright academics. They take these talented people, put them into complimentary teams and give them support to get an idea off the ground.
