Endeavor is an organization of, by, and for entrepreneurs. Endeavor Entrepreneurs pay the organization an annual service fee and, in the event of an acquisition, are asked to donate 2% of their personal equity back to the organization. In 2014, Endeavor Entrepreneurs donated $4m to Endeavor. Guibert Englebienne, an Endeavor Entrepreneur and the Co-Founder & CTO of Globant, became Chairman of Endeavor Argentina. (See p. 5 to learn more.) When Amr Shady, the founder of Egypt's T.A. Telecom, traveled to Johannesburg to facilitate his company's expansion to South Africa, Endeavor ZA arranged a series of meetings for him with Endeavor Entrepreneurs and mentors. Following this trip, Amr decided to formally participate in Endeavor South Africa's give-back program in addition to serving as a board member of the organization in Egypt. Endeavor South Africa is in the process of building a ZA-based advisory board for T.A. Telecom. Two other Endeavor Entrepreneurs, Norberto Loizeau (Promored) and Rodolfo Montes de Oca (Zott Producciones), also joined Argentina's board. Other Ways to Give Seasoned Endeavor Entre- preneurs are also expected to give back by mentoring their fellow Endeavor Entre- preneurs, speaking at entrepreneurship events, or angel investing in new ventures.
