Local Entrepreneur Services
Each Endeavor office has developed its own unique set of service offerings, partnerships, and programs aimed at providing local mentorship and support to Endeavor Entrepreneurs in their area. For example, Endeavor Brazil offers PAEX (short for Partners for Excelence), a results management training program run in conjunction with a partner consulting firm. The program includes regular workshops on management strategies. In Turkey, members of Endeavor Turkey’s board work with newly selected entrepreneurs in direct one-to-one mentoring relationships. In addition to programs supporting Endeavor Entrepreneurs, many local offices run programs to support startup entrepreneurs, from the Promesas programs in Latin America to the Excelerator program in South Africa.
