According to a recent LinkedIn post from Entrepreneurs First, the company is promoting a new initiative called Build 2036, positioned as a monthly, application-only gathering in London. The post suggests the forum will bring together a small group of founders to debate a specific thesis about the future and identify opportunities that may be worth building toward.

The post contrasts this format with traditional panels and networking, emphasizing structured critique and peer challenge rather than casual events. For investors, this initiative may signal Entrepreneurs First’s intent to deepen its pipeline of high-conviction, thesis-driven founders, potentially enhancing deal quality and long-term portfolio differentiation in competitive early-stage venture markets.
By focusing explicitly on long-term outlooks to 2036, the effort appears to encourage founders to pursue more ambitious, defensible ideas rather than incremental projects. If effective, such curated, debate-centric gatherings could help Entrepreneurs First identify founders with strong strategic thinking and resilience, which may improve future startup outcomes and strengthen its positioning among talent accelerators and venture platforms.
The first Build 2036 session is indicated for 30 April in London, underscoring the firm’s continued emphasis on the U.K. as a key innovation hub. While the post does not disclose direct financial metrics or fund-raising details, the initiative, if expanded or replicated in other geographies, could support brand visibility and increase the firm’s access to high-potential early-stage investments over time.
