Solution Overview

Vibrant ecosystems don’t materialize overnight. These require building a network of key, largely private-sector, stakeholders who come together to address the barriers that entrepreneurs face: Lack of trust; Lack of access to professional networks and talent; Lack of access to capital. When these barriers are addressed, entrepreneurs can rapidly scale to reach potential. And when local networks are brought together under Endeavor’s global umbrella, it unleashes opportunities for entrepreneurs to scale their businesses across borders, providing another opportunity for rapid growth and job creation.Most approaches to promoting entrepreneurship focus on supporting as many ventures as possible, ranging from mom-and-pop businesses to promising start-ups. Given the dramatic role that a small number of scale-up companies have on economic growth and job creation, Endeavor chooses to focus its resources on a much smaller number of entrepreneurs with the highest potential so as to achieve maximum impact. Regardless of sector, Most apply technology to solve real-life problems at scale. By relentlessly putting resources behind these entrepreneurs, we are convinced we can have the most transformative effect. With our replicable global model, bolstered by local boards and teams, Endeavor achieves systemic results in the most efficient time frame.If Endeavor can increase its global reach in the next 5 years, we can directly change the growth trajectory for hundreds of fast-growth companies. While individual entrepreneurs are the initial beneficiaries, the real gains go to their communities as they create tens of thousands of jobs and inspire others on their entrepreneurial journeys.
