Building your own startup: mini-bootcamp

​We are excited to offer a mini-bootcamp for students from LSE and Imperial who are exploring the idea of building their own startup. This is an opportunity to get hands-on experience of the early stages of the company-building process: if you are not certain that building a company is for you, this is your opportunity to find out.

​Entrepreneur First is a highly selective, 3-month long programme. We bring together the few individuals with the potential to found globally important technology companies, to meet their co-founder and build startups from scratch.

​We were founded on the belief that the world is missing out on some of its best founders. In particular, we believe this is because the best companies come from co-founding partnerships – but finding the right person in your existing network can be hugely challenging. In fact, it’s a matter of pure luck.

​The event will take place between 3 pm and 7 pm on the 31st of January.

​The mini-bootcamp will comprise sessions delivered by the Entrepreneur First team on the following:

• ​How to identify your “edge” (your unique combination of knowledge and skills that form your unfair advantage when ideating)

• ​How to select a co-founder with a complementary “edge”

• ​How to navigate the “idea maze” with a co-founder

• ​The opportunity to ideate with others and receive feedback from the Entrepreneur First team

​Spaces at this event will be limited and in the instance that it is oversubscribed, places will be awarded selectively.
