ENDEAVOR SELECTION TEAM


Endeavor selected 14 entrepreneurs leading six companies at the Thirteenth Virtual International Selection Panel (vISP) held March 21-23, 2021. Endeavor now supports 2,155 entrepreneurs leading 1,344 companies in nearly 40 markets around the world (read more about the newly selected entrepreneurs below).

The vISP was presented by General Atlantic, with additional support from AXA, Bain, Cooley, EY, HSBC, Silicon Valley Bank, and Zoom.

The ISP is the culmination of a rigorous multi-step selection process to identify high-impact entrepreneurs who demonstrate the potential to leverage Endeavor’s resources and mentorship to create large-scale wealth and jobs, and are committed to reinvesting their time and money in their local entrepreneurship ecosystems to help others take off.

During the vISP panelists utilized Zoom breakout rooms to interview a small group of high-caliber entrepreneur candidates leading four companies about their businesses. In “deliberation rooms” — private Zoom meetings with only Endeavor staff and panelists — panelists evaluated the entrepreneurs on their potential for high-impact growth, discussed which candidates should be selected to become Endeavor Entrepreneurs, then voted unanimously to select the newest Endeavor Entrepreneurs.

Panelists at the ISP included: Alexandros Chatzieleftheriou, Co-Founder & CEO, Blueground (Endeavor Entrepreneur);  Dan Caruso, Managing Partner, Caruso Ventures (Endeavor Colorado Board Chairman); Firat İşbecer, CEO, Commencis (Endeavor Entrepreneur; Endeavor Turkey Board Member); Harun Hajadi, Managing Director, Ciputra Group (Endeavor Indonesia Board Member); Husodo Angkosubroto, Chairman, Gunung Sewu Kencana (Endeavor Indonesia Board Member); Javier Olivan, Vice President of Central Products, Facebook (Endeavor Global Board Member); Kyle Porter, Founder & CEO, SalesLoft (Endeavor Entrepreneur); Markus Bihler, Co-founder & CEO, Builders Union (Endeavor Entrepreneur); Paul Desmarais III, Chairman and CEO, Sagard (Endeavor Canada Board Member); Richard Harris, Founder & CEO, Black Crow AI; Roshini Bakshi, Managing Director, Everstone Capital Advisors (Endeavor Ambassador); and Shailesh Rao, Advisor/Investor, Venture Highway and BigSpring.

As part of Endeavor’s network, the newly selected entrepreneurs will gain access to comprehensive, strategic, global support services, including introductions to local and international business mentors, investors, and volunteers from Fortune 500 consulting firms who will help them address key needs.

Endeavor Entrepreneurs have had a significant track record of impact. Endeavor Entrepreneurs have created 4.1 million jobs, generated $26.8 billion in revenues in 2019, and help build sustainable growth models in their home countries.
