A LinkedIn post from Entrepreneurs First describes the launch of “Build 2036,” a new monthly, application-only gathering in London focused on long-term technology and market theses. The initiative is portrayed as a forum where a small group of participants rigorously debate a single view of the future and identify themes that may be worth building toward.

The post suggests that Entrepreneurs First sees value in convening founders and prospective founders who take a structured, analytical approach to future trends. For investors, this could signal an effort to strengthen the firm’s deal pipeline and community by attracting analytically minded entrepreneurs earlier, potentially enhancing the quality and ambition of startups that may enter its programs or portfolio.
By emphasizing stress-testing ideas among “sharp” peers rather than traditional panels or networking, the post points to a differentiation strategy in a crowded startup-support ecosystem. If Build 2036 successfully cultivates high-conviction, well-defended theses around long-term opportunities, it could improve Entrepreneurs First’s positioning as a source of globally competitive, thesis-driven founders.
The London focus of the first session indicates ongoing commitment to that market, which remains a key European hub for venture-backed technology companies. Over time, consistent access to talent and early insight into emerging areas of innovation from such gatherings may support Entrepreneurs First’s brand, pipeline quality, and, indirectly, its attractiveness to limited partners and co-investors.
