T H E EN D E AVO R C ATA LYST CO M M U N IT Y In June 2019, we hosted our fourth annual Endeavor Catalyst Investor Meeting in San Francisco. This in-person gathering convened 200+ Endeavor Catalyst investors, entrepreneurs, and mentors from around the world. Among our keynote speakers was Eric Yuan, Founder and CEO of Zoom (top left), who had taken his company public just weeks prior. Little did we know that we would be hosting our Endeavor Catalyst Investor Meeting the following year... on Zoom! In June 2020, we virtually convened over 200 members of the Endeavor Catalyst Community. Amid growing macroeconomic concerns, Eric Lander, President and Founding Director, Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, joined Reid Hoffman, Co-Founder, LinkedIn & Partner, Greylock Partners for a fireside chat on COVID-19. 3 5 E N D E A V O R C ATA LY S T A M I LE STO N E E X IT FO R T H E T U R K IS H ECOS YST E M Peak Games, a mobile gaming company led by Endeavor Entrepreneur Sidar Şahin (right), was acquired in June 2020 by Zynga for $1.8B, marking the first billion dollar-plus exit of a Turkish startup, and the largest exit for Endeavor Catalyst to date. rough Endeavor Catalyst, investors gain access to a world-class, diversified pipeline of companies while also participating in meaningful profit-sharing with Endeavor. Today, we proudly count dozens of Endeavor Entrepreneurs among our investors in Endeavor Catalyst. Returns from Endeavor Catalyst, combined with other market-driven revenues, will enable Endeavor to become a financially self-sustaining organization by 2030.
