What I wish I'd known before I built my own. 🚀
Join us at Entrepreneurs First's London HQ for a fireside chat between EF Partner Jonny Clifford and Ben Freeman – Co-founder & CEO of Omnea, one of Europe's fastest-growing AI companies ($75M raised from Insight Partners, Accel, and Khosla Ventures; 300% revenue growth last year).
Before Ben built Omnea, he was an early commercial hire at Tessian (Sequoia-backed, acquired) – where he learned what it actually takes to scale a startup before going out to build his own.
They'll get honest about the mistakes most first-time founders make, why the best thing Ben ever did was join someone else's rocket ship first, and what he wishes he'd known in the first years of his career. Expect a real conversation about when to build vs. join, what great early-stage looks like from the inside, and what's next for Omnea's Commercial Associate programme.
Then drinks, and time to meet the founders, operators and investors in the room.
Invitation only. Limited spots available.
