Our guest today is Alice Bentinck, co-founder of Entrepreneur First.

EF (as it's more commonly known) celebrate their tenth year this week and co-founders Alice & Matt have gone from strength to strength - even fostering their first billion-dollar company in Tractable … which also happens to be the UK's 100th unicorn.

But it has not been plain sailing - as you’ll hear today.

There are many myths around entrepreneurship that I try to challenge on this podcast, one of which is that entrepreneurs are born not created. 

I believe it has never been easier to be an entrepreneur and is now a much more credible career choice than even 10 years ago … However,  the number of tools and options available can also make it more difficult to know where to turn.

EF looks to solve this by matching you up with a co-founder and learning the basics of entrepreneurship from some of the very best …and we are probably just at the beginning of their journey.

A big thank you to all you listeners for powering us into the top 15 of Apple business podcasts ….If you are enjoying the series, it makes a massive difference if you could rate us on iTunes.

It is wonderful to read reviews such as the one by Charles Fletcher of Navigate Politics or hearing from people like Eben Owen who has recently got a job having been inspired by the guests on the podcast.
