He has indeed experienced first- hand the extent of Endeavor's support and its dedication to providing entrepreneurs with the resources and expertise they need to succeed. Being determined to spur Talent Garden's international growth, Davide has tapped into Endeavor's network to connect with potential partners and investors. Moreover, he has taken advantage of the unique chance to acquire critical competencies and know-how not only through the Endeavor mentors and fellow founders but also by attending Harvard's training courses specially designed for the network's entrepreneurs.
