    How @join_ef now works: 1. We find you in Europe, India or the US. 2. We select you based on your founder potential. 3. You join one of our programmes in London, Paris, Bangalore or SF. 4. If not already in SF, we help you re-locate to San Francisco to raise your seed round

    I asked @elonmusk what we can do to get more technologists to become founders. He said "They need to realise that it's not a one shot attempt. Founding is something you do again and again during your career." Thank you to @RishiSunak for hosting
