I collect stories about people at the very start of something

every few months, a new group of founders lands in San Francisco
most arrive without a co-founder, some even without an idea

eight weeks later, they leave as companies

at The Bridge, Entrepreneurs First's US residency, I work on making it the best place to start

beyond the residency, I work across operations, product and partnerships at Entrepreneurs First

read content from my friends at The Bridge with Sidedoors & long story short

most careers turn on one conversation, so on the side I try to start a few

sometimes it's one person
Loubaba is now at Northzone, and Juliette is building at Uncovr

sometimes it's a co-founder who I introduced to The Bridge team

sometimes it's a whole room
I helped bring five degrees to Paris, a talent-first community connecting early engineers, operators and future founders with Europe's hottest startups
two showcases in already, the first and the second

I made the introduction, the rest is their story
