Endeavor works to develop entrepreneurial
ecosystems in markets where there is a
critical mass of innovative entrepreneurs
but a lack of resources needed to help
scale businesses. Endeavor acts as a force
multiplier by providing entrepreneurs access
to talent, mentorship, markets, and capital
through a series of customized local and
global services.

MODEL
• Academic research has shown that
fast-growing companies that scale
to become large firms are among
the most effective mechanisms for
reducing unemployment.
• A 2008 study found that the
fastest-growing 2-3% of companies
accounted for nearly 100% of the
net new jobs in the United States
between 1994 and 2006.
We focus on
scale-ups,
not start-ups.
