DEAR ENDEAVOR FRIENDS & SUPPORTERS This year Endeavor is celebrating five years of High- Impact entrepreneurship in Lebanon. Since our launch, we have screened over 460 companies, selected 27 entrepreneurs, established over 1185 connections, provided over 25 pro-bono projects from our partners and 905 mentoring hours from our mentors. We are proud to have in our network some of the country's best entrepreneurs who we believe are the leaders of tomorrow. These innovative entrepreneurs employ over 1370 people and have generated over 30% yearly revenue growth since selection. Endeavor companies Anghami and Diwanee are repeatedly cited among the region's most exciting tech companies while companies such as Nymgo, Beesline and Green Studios keep on expanding into new global markets. Nada Debs keeps on defining the design industry in the Middle East while Endeavor Entrepreneur Ziad Sankari was recognized by President Obama for his progressive work in life saving cardiac care. All these achievements were helped through the support of our board, mentors and partners, a bond between the promise of entrepreneurship and the growth engine that is the Lebanese private sector to whom we are very grateful. Looking forward to the next five years, we will continue on strengthening that bond that is today supported by circular 331 and the leading academic institutions of the country. Through this concerted effort of all stakeholders, we believe Lebanon's entrepreneurship ecosystem can and will flourish more as an innovation-driven economy, once again leading the region… 1 IMPACT REPORT 2015 – 2016
