"As an Endeavor Entrepreneur turned venture capitalist, I am thrilled to be investing in the next generation of high-impact entrepreneurs alongside Endeavor Catalyst. Founders love to have [Endeavor] Catalyst as a shareholder, and [Endeavor] Catalyst has consistently proven to be a value-add partner. Endeavor is now having an even larger, more positive impact in all of the regions where it operates, through [Endeavor] Catalyst," expressed Nicolas Szekasy. On the global level, the funds that we've co-invested with most frequently include the IFC's venture capital arm (4x) and Omidyar Network (4x). In addition to Kaszek, the regional funds that top our list in terms of number of co-investments include Monashees (4x) out of Brazil and Middle East Venture Partners (MEVP) (4x) based in Dubai and Beirut. We are also grateful to all of the partners who are investing in our companies at earlier stages including many accelerators around the world and globally- minded funds such as 500 Startups. 8 X C O - I N V E S TO R : 4 X C O - I N V E S TO R S : 3 X C O - I N V E S TO R S :
