ENDEAVOR SELECTION TEAM


This month, Endeavor selected 12 entrepreneurs leading five companies at our 50th virtual International Selection Panel (ISP) held from March 24-26, 2025. The organization now supports 2,689 entrepreneurs leading 1,639 in 45+ countries around the world.

Each ISP is the culmination of a rigorous, multi-step selection process to identify high-impact entrepreneurs from all over the world. We seek founders with the greatest growth potential and commitment to reinvesting time and resources into their local entrepreneurial ecosystems to help build the next generation of entrepreneurs, sparking what we call a Multiplier Effect™. During the ISP, our panelists interview entrepreneurs about their businesses and evaluated their potential for high-impact growth. The panelists then discuss the candidates and vote on whether to select them to become Endeavor Entrepreneurs.

Dexory

Entrepreneurs: Andrei Danescu, Oana Jinga, and Adrian Negoita
Endeavor Office: Romania

What they do: Founded in the UK in 2023, Dexory utilizes robotics and data analysis to transform warehouse operations and inventory management. Dexory’s 40-foot tall autonomous robot scans over 10K warehouse locations per hour, gathering data for its AI-powered platform, DexoryView, to provide actionable insights. The platform utilizes the robot’s data to create a digital twin model of the warehouse, enabling operators to visualize space utilization and optimize layouts to improve efficiency. DexoryView helps businesses achieve up to 99.9% inventory accuracy, providing end-to-end visibility for logistics operators, manufacturers, and retailers to improve forecasting, reduce excess inventory, and boost productivity across the entire supply chain.

Who they are: Andrei (CEO), Oana (CPO & COO), and Adrian (CTO) are long-time friends who co-founded Dexory to transform warehouse operations. Andrei, an engineer by trade with experience in Formula 1 and Jaguar Land Rover, initially led the company’s focus on robotics. When the pandemic reshaped the retail landscape, their logistics partners pulled them toward a bigger opportunity—warehouse automation. Oana, with a background in sales, marketing, and partnerships at Google and Telefonica Digital, helped steer Dexory’s transition, driving its go-to-market strategy. Meanwhile, Adrian, a technology leader with experience at IBM, built the insights platform and autonomous robotics powering Dexory today.

Finkargo

Entrepreneurs: Santiago Molina, Andrés Ferrer, and Tomas Shuk
Endeavor Office: Colombia

What they do: Finkargo is a trade finance platform solving one of the most critical barriers in global trade — access to capital for SMEs importing goods. These businesses represent 40% of Latin America’s $1T in annual imports, yet 80% of them struggle with cash flow constraints. While traditional financial institutions focus on exporters, Finkargo fills the gap in import financing, offering fast, data-driven credit decisions. By leveraging real-time data from ports, customs, and shipping companies, Finkargo creates unique credit profiles and provides financing in as little as 48 hours — compared to up to 100 days with banks — covering up to 70% of import costs before production begins. Now evolving into a full-service platform, it integrates tools like insurance, market insights, and KYC for suppliers. Since 2021, Finkargo has financed over $700M in imports, supporting 600+ businesses across 5,400 transactions and connecting them with 1,500+ suppliers across 50 countries. As it scales, Flinkargo aims to be the leading operating system for importers and fuell trade growth across Latin America.

Who they are: Finkargo was founded by Santiago, Andrés, and Tomás, a team uniquely equipped to solve the SME trade finance gap. Santiago, a former investment banker and entrepreneur, founded several businesses, including Uni2, the fastest-growing microfinance institution in the country. Andrés built his early career at Hewlett-Packard and later became a technology expert, leading three successful turnarounds in the software, hardware, and cybersecurity industries, with two notable exits. Tomás, with over 25 years in logistics and international trade, was Maersk’s Director for Mexico and Central America before founding Key Logistics Group, which grew into a multinational operation before being acquired. The idea for Flinkargo emerged when Tomás recognized that many SMEs struggled with capital access. He consulted Santiago, and together they approached financial institutions for solutions — only to find that traditional lenders weren’t addressing SME importers’ unique needs. Realizing that a tailored approach was necessary, they brought Andrés on board to lead the technological innovation required to build a scalable solution.

meta[bolic]

Entrepreneurs: Ali Hashemi, Ihsan Al Marzooqi, and Zeina Abdalla
Endeavor Office: UAE

What they do: Founded in 2020, meta[bolic] is a healthcare company focused on combating metabolic disease through technology and human guidance. The company’s hybrid model combines a physical clinic with a custom tech platform that provides continuous, data-driven care. By using wearable devices to track health data, meta[bolic] provides actionable insights for its clinicians, leading to better outcomes compared to traditional or digital-only methods. The company offers two services: GluCare.Health, which helps manage diabetes and hormonal issues, and Zone.Health, which focuses on wellness services like weight loss and hormone therapy that aren’t covered by insurance.

Who they are: Ali, Ihsan, and Zeina bring the ideal mix of experience to transform healthcare. Ali (CEO) is a seasoned entrepreneur, having founded Amana Healthcare (acquired for $400M) and led Booz & Company’s Middle East healthcare practice. Ihsan (COO) brings 15+ years of healthcare operations experience, including his tenure as Director at Mubadala Healthcare where he led Imperial College London Diabetes Centre to 65% market share and served as the founding CEO of Healthpoint Hospital. Zeina (Chief Engagement Officer) adds over a decade of marketing expertise, having founded and grown Fishfayce from a digital photography business into a successful multimodal marketing company serving luxury brands like Chanel, Hermès, Ferrari, and Lamborghini.

Pagaleve

Entrepreneurs: Henrique Weaver and Michael Greer
Endeavor Office: Brazil

What they do: Pagaleve is a Brazilian fintech that enables consumers to buy now and pay later using Pix-based installment payments without needing a credit card. By integrating directly with retailer APIs, it allows merchants to offer both interest-free and interest-bearing payment plans, expanding their customer reach and boosting sales. Its transaction-based credit approval model evaluates each purchase individually, increasing approval rates and providing a more inclusive payment alternative. With a focus on accessibility and financial flexibility, Pagaleve empowers both retailers and consumers by reducing costs, managing risks, and offering a seamless shopping experience. Today, Pagaleve has more than 700,000 users and partners with more than 8,500 online and offline retailers.

Who they are: Henrique and Michael are the co-founders of Pagaleve, bringing deep expertise in scaling businesses and fintech. Henrique played a key role in Uber’s expansion in Brazil as General Manager, growing it into the company’s largest global market, and later grew OYO Hotels as CEO. Michael, a seasoned tech leader, was the CTO of Zip, a leading BNPL company that grew into a $5 billion powerhouse, helping millions access flexible payment solutions. Together, they launched Pagaleve in 2021 to revolutionize installment payments and access to credit in Brazil.

Tala

Entrepreneur: Shivani Siroya
Endeavor Office: Mexico

What they do: Tala is a global financial infrastructure company delivering the world’s most accessible financial services. It is grounded by a simple thesis: that traditional financial solutions overlook heaps of alternative data that can be used to serve billions of people. Launched in 2014, Tala has built a vertically integrated financial infrastructure powered by the most expansive warehouse of proprietary data. The company has delivered more than US$6 billion in credit to more than 10 million customers across Latin America, Southeast Asia, and East Africa who have used Tala products to start and expand small businesses, manage day-to-day needs, and pursue their financial goals. Tala has raised nearly half a billion dollars in equity and debt from investors including Upstart, IVP, Revolution Growth, Kindred Ventures, Lowercase Capital, and PayPal Ventures.

Who they are: Shivani grew up in India and the United States. After starting her career in investment banking, she joined the United Nations Population Fund as an analyst. In this role, she worked across nine different countries in West Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa, interviewing ~3,500 individuals about their personal finances. Through these conversations, Shivani saw an opportunity to use technology and data to better serve these individuals’ financial needs. Since launching in Kenya in 2014, Tala has scaled across continents to the Philippines and Mexico. Shivani is an Aspen Institute Finance Leader Fellow, a WEF Young Global Leader, and Ashoka Fellow.
