Entrepreneur First is Europe and Asia's leading pre-seed deep tech investor. Supported by Infocomm Investments, we just launched our first programme in Singapore in September 2016.
We help the world's most ambitious computer scientists and engineers build companies from scratch. We invest in you even before you have a co-founder or fixed idea. EF has an intensive 6-month programme that is designed to give you the best possible support in the first 6 months of your startup’s life. We've helped 400 top technical individuals in the world build over 100 world-class technology startups, now collectively valued at over SGD$1,000,000,000.
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, with cutting-edge technology, but another day you, along with the entire team, will have to collect 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 our Talent Team, who are responsible for finding and selecting the top technical talent here in Singapore to join our programme. In general, your responsibilities include:
- Sourcing: You'll be looking for the top technical talent here in Asia that could be a great fit for our programme. This is often carried out through community and recruitment events, networking, cold-emailing, and online marketing.
- 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 Elon Musk. 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 our day-to-day operations.
