Product Manager - Non engineering

London
EF Team – Product
Full-time Permanent
Entrepreneur First was founded in 2011 by Alice Bentinck and Matt Clifford with the aim of enabling the world’s most ambitious people to become founders. Today we are the world’s leading talent investor: we invest time and money in outstanding individuals, helping them find a co-founder, develop an idea, and start a technology company from scratch.

Across our programmes in Europe and Asia, to date we have helped over 1,200 individuals build more than 200 companies, with a total valuation of $1.5 billion. EF’s companies have been funded by many of the leading venture investors in Europe, Asia and Silicon Valley. Our major exits to date include Magic Pony Technology which was acquired by Twitter for a reported $150m only 18 months after the Founders met on the EF programme.

EF itself is backed by some of the world’s best investors, including the founders of LinkedIn, DeepMind and PayPal and runs cohorts in London, Singapore, Toronto, Berlin, Paris and Bangalore. 

We are a rapidly growing organisation: 100+ employees across six countries; 200+ portfolio companies; ~$200m of third-party capital under management; and 800+ new entrepreneurs and 100+ new investments each year, which makes us the most active seed investor in both Europe and South East Asia.
