My guest today is <a href="https://twitter.com/matthewclifford">Matt Clifford</a>, co-founder and CEO of <a href="https://www.joinef.com/">Entrepreneur First</a>, which he started with Alice Bentinck back in 2011.
Entrepreneur First is what is known as a Talent Investor – they help extraordinary individuals find a co-founder, develop and idea and raise money from the world&#8217;s best investors. So far they&#8217;ve enabled more than a thousand people to create over 200 companies, worth a combined $2.4 billion. 
On top of running Entrepreneur First, Matt writes <a href="https://www.getrevue.co/profile/mattclifford">Thoughts in Between</a>, one of my favorite newsletters so it goes without saying that I&#8217;m very excited about this conversation. 
We kick-off with a couple of somewhat weird questions I&#8217;ve been meaning to ask Matt for some time but then we dive straight into it:
<ul>
<li>picking and testing locations for Entrepreneur First </li>
<li>why the talent model investing is as important as ever</li>
<li>why now is the right time to start a company</li>
<li>the value of networks</li>
<li>how to incentivize scenius (or communal genius)</li>
</ul>
&#8230;and much, much more. 
I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.
