EF saturday_club

What is it? 🤔

The Saturday morning club is a structured meetup and co-working session designed for exceptional individuals in full-time jobs who aspire to found a startup. Its purpose is to connect participants with potential co-founders, launch part-time projects, and provide funding opportunities to transition from part-time to full-time.

Who is it for? 👥

This program is tailored for early career professionals, likely with a technical background (engineers or scientists), who are committed to starting their own company and can dedicate 10+ hours a week to side projects. You are serious about your entrepreneurial journey and ready to leave your full-time job if your startup secures funding.

Why are we doing this? 💡

EF exists to launch great companies that might not otherwise come to fruition. While our core product emphasizes a full-time commitment, we acknowledge that some individuals face financial obligations or prefer to find a co-founder before making that leap. We believe there are remarkable individuals who can make significant progress part-time while seeking the right partners.
