Ninety percent of Endeavor Entrepreneurs go on to serve as angel investors, mentors, and active promoters of high-impact entrepreneurship. We achieve broader ecosystem impact by sharing the aspirational stories, innovative strategies, and disruptive techniques of Endeavor Entrepreneurs through Endeavor Experiences, Endeavor Insight, and Endeavor Scale-Up Events. e "PayPal Mafia" is often credited as one of the building blocks of Silicon Valley's success, with its founders and former employees launching and funding many of today's most prominent tech companies, including YouTube, Tesla, LinkedIn, and Yelp. At Endeavor, we call this phenomenon of one company unleashing a subsequent wave of entrepreneurs the "Multiplier Effect" — and through it, Endeavor Entrepreneurs have transformed ecosystems in growth markets around the world. In early 2019, Endeavor Insight, Endeavor's research arm, partnered with the Istanbul Development Agency and Endeavor Turkey to assess the entrepreneurship ecosystem for technology companies in Istanbul. Interviewing more than 220 tech entrepreneurs in Istanbul, as well as investors and entrepreneurship support organization leaders, Endeavor Insight found that the Istanbul tech entrepreneurship community is thriving today primarily because earlier generations of founders have reinvested their resources in the ecosystem. e map shown at right demonstrates that the four most influential companies in Istanbul are: MYNET: an email provider and social media company with over 250 employ- ees. Founded in 1999 by Emre Kurttepeli, Mynet is one of Istanbul's earliest success stories. Today, in addition to remaining as chairman of Mynet, Emre is also the chairman of Endeavor Turkey. YEMEKSEPETI: an e-commerce company co-founded by Endeavor Entrepreneurs Nevzat Aydin and Melih Ödemiş, which was acquired for more than US$589M by Delivery Hero. Nevzat sits on the Endeavor Turkey board. MARKAFONI: an e-commerce company with over 500 employees, which was acquired for US$146M by Naspers. POZITRON: an enterprise software com- pany co-founded by Endeavor Entrepreneurs and brothers Fatih and Fırat İşbecer, which was acquired for US$100M by Monitise. Today Fatih and Fırat lead a new company, Commencis, and recently Firat joined the Endeavor Turkey board. By mapping connections within the ecosys- tem, Endeavor Insight found that the founders of these companies can be traced to over one-third of tech companies in Istanbul today through either investment, mentorship, former employment, or serial entrepreneurship. Circle size reflects the # of outgoing connections at each company. Serial entrepreneurship Former employment Mentorship Angel investment LEGEND: T H E M U LTI P LI ER EFFEC T I N AC TI O N 4 SPRE AD
