Talent & Fundraising Analyst (Intern), Paris

About Entrepreneur First
Entrepreneur First is the world's leading talent investor.
We invest in the world’s most ambitious technologists to help them build world-class deep tech startups from scratch. Since 2011, we’ve created over 260+ startups worth over $1.6 billion including Tractable, OpenCosmos, CloudNC and Cleo. Our major exits to date include Magic Pony Technology, which was acquired by Twitter for $150m. EF is backed by Reid Hoffman (founder of LinkedIn) and Greylock Partners, Mosaic Ventures, Founders Fund, Lakestar and some of the world's best entrepreneurs.
It once seemed impossible to build companies from scratch. Since 2011, we've built a robust, scalable way to do this. Our method creates some of the most valuable startups produced in Europe and Asia. EF has a unique opportunity to develop the secret to building billion dollar companies from scratch. No other organisation has access to this.
