Investment thesis
Endeavor operates a global network to select, support, and elevate high-impact entrepreneurs, aiming to build cultures of entrepreneurship that compound impact through what it calls the Multiplier Effect. To sustain its mission, Endeavor created Endeavor Catalyst, a rules-based co-investment fund that invests in the same high-impact founders the organization supports, with a particular focus on markets outside the U.S. and China. The fund is among the world's leading early-stage backers of startups that become $1B+ companies (unicorns) in these emerging and non-U.S./China markets. The organization is borderless and driven by belief in tech-enabled innovation.
