Reimagining the Pathway to Success
In our 2023 Impact Report, we celebrate the unexpected pathways taken by founders around the world and the Endeavor Entrepreneurs who are building thriving ecosystems in their markets by dreaming bigger, scaling faster, and paying it forward.
The past year was filled with astonishing moments from entrepreneurs all over the world. eFishery put Indonesia in the headlines as the world’s first aquaculture unicorn. Tunisian AI company InstaDeep was acquired by a biotech titan. The female-led startup Pismo made headlines as one of the largest fintech deals of 2023.
In 2023, we also celebrated our 300th investment. Endeavor Catalyst now invests in 37 of our markets and is recognized as one of the most active funds for early-stage companies in MENA, Africa, and Latin America.
