The Entrepreneur First gossip rag that you never knew you needed 👀
But First, Entrepreneurs is a blog about going through Entrepreneur First’s (aka EF’s) 3rd Toronto cohort, and all the interpersonal magic and chaos that came along with it.
EF is a super interesting VC / talent management concept started by Matt Clifford and Alice Bentinck, two ex-McKinsey London people who looked at everyone around them and wondered why the heck the world’s most intelligent, hardworking, ambitious people were spending their time redlining slide decks instead of, I dunno, doing actual things.
Think of it as Love Island meets Shark Tank.

I try to write one essay a day, mostly about trying to be a less terrible human, sometimes also tech and art. I identify as a software engineer, libertarian with empathy, optimistic-deterministic. (https://casey.li)
