Italy

As Endeavor’s fourth expansion in Europe, Italy demonstrates a need for businesses that can scale and create a substantial economic impact in the region. A country with a dynamic tradition of creativity and invention, Italy has faced political and economic challenges in recent years. The Italian venture capital community lags behind other European nations in the amount of investment, despite ongoing growth in local startup activity.

In addition, the average size of Italian firms continue to remain among the smallest in Europe. Supported by the region’s top business leaders, Endeavor will help to build Italy’s entrepreneurial ecosystem by accelerating the number of entrepreneur success stories and positioning these founders as role models. These entrepreneurs will, in turn, drive significant revenue and job growth with the hopes that they too will mentor and invest in future generations.
