A phenomenal environment in which to learn, and a team of lovely people - Associate Founders Intelligence Employee Review

- Fantastic work culture, truly global film with a combination of highly creative and analytical individuals - Really interesting work, from doing innovation strategy to building new corporate ventures (across all industries) - Highly connected with entrepreneurial ecosystem, and part of a larger network of renowned investors and startup founders - Meritocratic culture, job well done is both appreciated and communicated across the company. - Competitive salary and benefits

- Entrepreneurial ecosystem still mostly limited to Europe (now growing in LATAM) - opportunity to increase reach globally

#1 Without a doubt, the people: FI has developed a rigorous values-based hiring process that consistently manages to find brilliant people who are talented, ambitious, entrepreneurial, humble and fun. This is definitely the company’s secret sauce. #2 The opportunity to shape a new type of consultancy: the company is at a really exciting stage of growth. Having found product-market fit on its core offering, the company is now scaling fast, whilst also developing new propositions. The work is consistently interesting and challenging. For someone who wants to shape and grow a new type of consultancy, FI offers a platform with huge opportunity to grow – both personally & professionally. #3 The Founders Forum network & ecosystem: FI sits at the heart of Europe’s tech ecosystem. Being co-located with the Founders Forum sister business @ the FF HQ in High Street Ken makes for a wonderfully dynamic work environment where you are constantly learning from and sharing ideas with those around you.

FI puts a big emphasis on working with corporate clients that take innovation seriously and working on projects that will have tangible impact. For this reason, the company prioritises end-to-end projects that are not just strategic in nature, but go right through to the execution e.g. making an investment into a start-up / building the MVP for a new venture. However, as with any consultancy working with big corporates, sometimes innovation initiatives gets deprioritised mid-project which can be frustrating.
