Buenos Aires, San Francisco, and Fort Worth – December 13, 2017 – Argentina’s Digital House, co-founded by Sebastian MacKinlay and Endeavor Entrepreneurs Eduardo Bruchou and Nelson Duboscq, raised a total of US$20 million from TPG Rise, with participation from Endeavor Catalyst and Omidyar Network.  This marks Endeavor Catalyst’s first investment alongside The Rise Fund, TPG’s global investment fund committed to achieving measurable social and environmental outcomes alongside competitive financial returns.

“The Endeavor Catalyst team is thrilled to be partnering with The Rise Fund and TPG, whose guiding belief in driving impact globally through entrepreneurship resonates deeply with Endeavor’s vision for change,” said Endeavor Co-founder and CEO Linda Rottenberg. “We look forward to continuing to work together to support high-impact Endeavor Entrepreneurs like Eduardo and Nelson, and promising companies like Digital House as they grow.”
