Entrepreneur First is Europe’s leading pre-seed deep tech investor. Supported by Infocomm Investments, they’ve just launched their first programme in Singapore in September 2016.
We help the world's most ambitious computer scientists and engineers build companies from scratch, even before they have a co-founder or fixed idea. EF has an intensive 6-month programme that is designed to give their clients the best possible support in the first 100 days of their startup’s life. The 50 companies they’ve built so far are now worth over S$500 million, and have raised investment from some of the most prestigious investors in the world including Index Ventures, Balderton Capital and Y Combinator.
As part of the founding team in Singapore, you’ll be responsible from day one. One day you’ll work with Singapore’s most prominent founders and investors, but another day you, along with other employees, will have to collect beer cans after an event. There is very little hierarchy, and you are encouraged to work on projects that you find exciting. You'll be a part of the Talent Team, who are responsible for finding the top technical talent here in Singapore to join our programme. In general, your responsibilities include:
- Research: The research that you do will help shape our recruitment strategy. You'll be looking for ways to optimize how we find the top technical individuals who have the potential to be the next Mark Zuckerberg or Bill Gates. You'll also be aiding in the management of our talent pipeline, and doing analysis on the talent team's data and metrics from previous participants
- Event Management: EF runs a lot of interviews, dinners and events for the most promising founders, and you’ll be responsible for everything from invitations to ensuring the day runs smoothly. Liaise with speakers and venues, and take responsibility for marketing. You'll get the opportunity to sit in on these interviews and events, to find out what great founders look like, and meet the next generation of founders.
- Operations and Admin: Support the EF team in their day-to-day operations, with tasks ranging from emailing applicants, to data entry.
