My guest today is Matt Clifford. He’s the cofounder of entrepreneur first, the world’s leading talent investor. They invest “pre-company” by helping the best people in cities around the world find a cofounder, develop an idea, and start a company. So far, they’ve helped 1000 people start 200 companies worth a combined $1.5B. This conversation covers their entire ecosystem and holds lessons for anyone building a business. I especially loved Matt’s ideas on the history of ambition.

I have never seen the Clifford on the new hands before from the https://www.assignmentholic.co.uk/. The possible thing is to check out the format team how the impossible thing will change the current status with the help of the pre company and the technology they are using.
After I initially commented I seem to have clicked on the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and from now on every time a comment is added I get 4 emails with the exact same comment. There has to be a means you can remove me from that service? Many thanks!
