Endeavor

My guilty pleasure: listening to others talking about Endeavor 🎧 Every time I see a podcast or clip about Endeavor, I put on my Airpods and listen. Huge thanks to the Sams 👉 Sam Marchant and Samuel Huber for bringing up our recent announcement about Endeavor Catalyst Fund V as their first news topic in the premiere episode of The Founding MENA Show 🚀 It was a delight hearing them talk about this, and also their shoutout to Yana El Dirani, our force of nature in MENA. Wishing them all the best in this new endeavor (😉), if you want to check it out, link in comments. #EndeavorCatalyst #TheFoundingMENAShow #VentureCapital #Startups #Entrepreneurship

Innovation happens on more than two points on the map. Talent exists everywhere, and we’re excited to announce our partnership with Visa Foundation to support entrepreneurs wherever they’re building. Together, we’re pairing capital with the skills, tools, and networks to scale, so the companies they grow can lift entire communities. Get a first look at the partnership from Visa Foundation President Najada Kumbuli and Linda Rottenberg. 👇 #Entrepreneurship #Elsewhere #MultiplierEffect Endeavor Spain

It's official: Endeavor Catalyst has closed Fund V at more than $320 million, surpassing our $300 million target and making it our largest fund yet. This has not been an easy year to be building or investing in this region. The investors I met chose to back its founders anyway, and I am grateful to each of them. Huge gratitude also to the Endeavor Entrepreneurs who make up 30% of Fund V's investors. Over the past decade, Endeavor Catalyst's investment in the Middle East has grown 22x, the steepest increase of any established region. We've backed 64 companies across 6 markets here, and since the start of 2025, the region has delivered 3 of Endeavor Catalyst's 14 liquidity events, second only to Latin America. Founders here are building for the long term. So are we. #EndeavorCatalyst #Elsewhere #VentureCapital #Entrepreneurship

We’re proud to celebrate our most strategic and long-standing partnership with the General Atlantic Foundation, united by the belief in the power of entrepreneurship Elsewhere. Through this collaboration, the GA Foundation has helped advance our mission by expanding access to capital markets for Endeavor Entrepreneurs and empowering diaspora founders in local ecosystem offices across the globe. This partnership builds on a long relationship with Bill Ford, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer at General Atlantic, a long-term supporter of our network. Together, we’re enabling the next generation of entrepreneurs to scale their impact and drive global growth. 🎥 Watch the video to learn more about how this partnership is shaping the future of entrepreneurship. #Endeavor #Entrepreneurship #MultiplierEffect #GeneralAtlantic #Entrepreneur

The people who understand Elsewhere best are the founders building from there. 🌍 We launched Endeavor Catalyst Fund V at $320M earlier this month. Roughly 3 out of 10 of the investors are Endeavor Entrepreneurs themselves. They know what it takes to build a company Elsewhere, and many of them already pay their success forward. They mentor entrepreneurs in their home markets, sit on our selection panels and local boards, and take the call when a founder needs advice. Fund V gives them one more way to do it. Founders we selected are now investing in the founders who come after them. Half of the fund’s profits go back to Endeavor, so every investment helps the next generation of founders building Elsewhere. TechCrunch’s Connie Loizos covered our latest fund and what it means for founders outside the usual hubs. Read the full story in the comments 👇 #BuildingElsewhere #Elsewhere #EndeavorCatalyst #FundV

Dubai has built a founder ecosystem that feeds itself. Here's what our new research found. ⬇️ Behind 11 of Dubai’s landmark companies, including Careem, Souq, Bayt, Maktoob, Property Finder and more, are founders who didn’t just build and exit. They reinvested. They trained the employees who became founders, mentored the next generation, and backed the companies now scaling across the region and the world. We call it the Multiplier Effect: the collective impact of successful founders reinvesting their success in other founders. Dubai’s Multipliers have supported a new generation of 475+ companies across 50 countries through 570 connections. Research by Endeavor in partnership with @Dubai Founders HQ.
