Endeavor Global Inc

Programs: Entrepreneur selection and growth: working with a network of local business leaders, endeavor indentifies and screens thousands of entrepreneur candidates running high-growth businesses. Several times each year, an international selection panel of experienced business people gathers to elect a new class of endeavor entrepreneurs - those individuals who demonstrate fulfillment of a specific set of values and conditions that match the organization's expectations and goals. Once selected, endeavor provides high-impact entrepreneurs customized services to meet their specific challenges. Endeavor's services include connecting endeavor entrepreneurs with local and global mentors, managerial talent from blue-chip companies and top business schools, access to difficult-to-penetrate networks and several new targeted services for companies seeking venture capital/private equity and/or companies in later growth stages. At the same time, endeavor has built a peer network of entrepreneurs who provide a strong, supportive community to face any challenge. Upon the issue of this return, endeavor supported 1,300+ entrepreneurs from 1,000+ companies from 25+ countries.

organizational engagement: endeavor supports both new and existing offices through several departments, including organizational development. Staff in this department provides infrastructure, best practices and information technology ("it") training to new offices and high-level consulting services to established offices that have reached key inflection points.

new country expansion: endeavor believes that building strong local offices is the best way to ensure scalable and long-term success. This model places co-ownership of the endeavor brand and lead responsibility for program execution on the local or affiliate office. Moreover, a local presence enables the organization to raise funds from local country benefactors and local sources to sustain local operations. Until the point at which an affiliate office is legalized as a separate, independent entity and has established a board of directors, endeavor global incurs all start-up and development costs. In 2016, endeavor explored launching new offices in atlanta, ecuador, and kenya.
