She might be the most underrated founder in Europe.

Alice Bentinck has no massive press coverage.

Just 15 billion dollars worth of companies built quietly over 10 years.

Alice is the co-founder of Entrepreneurs First, the talent investor that finds founders before they have a company, before they have an idea, sometimes before they even know they want to be a founder.

The model sounds crazy.

VCs have told her it would never work.

But Entrepreneurs First has now produced 500 seed-funded companies, counts Reid Hoffman and Patrick Collison among its backers.

In this episode, Alice breaks down everything she has learned about co-founders: why breakups kill more startups than bad ideas, how to know in 48 hours if someone is the right partner, why three co-founders is the most expensive mistake you’ll make, and why megalomania is not a flaw but a necessity in every great founder.

If you’ve ever struggled to find the right co-founder, or wondered whether the one you have is actually the right one, this episode is for you.
