Although 2020 did not begin as we — or the world — hoped and expected, we've never felt more strongly that Endeavor's work truly matters, and we've never been more inspired by our Endeavor Entrepreneurs. Linda Rottenberg, Founder and CEO of Endeavor, often says that "when economies turn down, entrepreneurs turn up," and this statement rings especially true now. For us, as Endeavor, creating the jobs of the future has never been more important. And in spite of the macroeconomic challenges, we continue to have a very active investment pipeline, we've successfully raised over $100mm for Endeavor Catalyst III, and we will still hold our 5th annual Investor Meeting, albeit virtually thanks to our friends at Zoom! { Nadine Haram, Founder, Proximie (Lebanon). Luis Arbulú, Founding CEO, Xertica (Peru). y Federico Sargenti, CEO, Supermercato24 (Italy).
