Alice Bentinck discusses how Entrepreneurs First helps someone to go from “no team, no idea” to funded company. EF has helped create companies now collectively worth more than $10,000,000,000 and many participants go from zero to raising $2-15 million from top-tier VCs within months. Bentinck argues that capital is the easiest part of the journey, while co-founder fit, community, and early guidance are what really accelerate success. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
