ENDEAVOR SELECTION TEAM


In a world shaped by bold ideas and relentless determination, we have the privilege of welcoming into our community, every year, a small group of entrepreneurs who redefine what’s possible. They are changemakers and multipliers –– builders whose work sparks waves of transformation far beyond their industries.

Last year’s Endeavor Entrepreneurs are no exception. In this recap, you will learn about the 89 companies and 162 entrepreneurs selected into Endeavor in 2024, the big problems they’re helping to solve, and how they are leaving their mark.

The entrepreneurs who joined us in 2024 reflect a shifting tide in the innovation landscape. They have younger companies but are deeply seasoned. They are daring, yet grounded. They navigate the world’s complexities with purpose, finding big opportunities in overlooked markets and taking them across seas. And they do it all with an unyielding drive to build something that lasts.

Finding these gems requires a rigorous selection process, during which candidates are also encouraged to think critically about their vision, strategy, and operations. We ask our selection panelists to go deep and create value, so whether it’s a moment of clarity inspired by a mentor or a slight sail adjustment after panel feedback, the process often contributes to the trajectory of a business.

However, this is not a one-way street. Entrepreneurs give mentors and panelists (and us) a rare glimpse into what’s next –– a front-row seat to the ideas and behaviors that are shaping the future.

Inside the 2024 Selected Companies

From this remarkable cohort, four major trends have emerged:

  • Many of this year’s entrepreneurs honed their skills as early employees at some of the world’s most successful startups. These “startup mafia” alumni are launching ventures faster and smarter, bringing operational expertise and great ambition.
  • Gone are the days of “growth at all costs.” Founders in 2024 are rewriting the playbook, scaling responsibly, doubling down on efficiency, and proving that profitability is not just possible –– it’s here.
  • Fintech is on the rise, represented by one in four selected companies this year versus last year’s rate of one in six. They are solving critical gaps in underserved markets, delivering solutions where the world needs them most, and digitizing entire countries.
  • The next wave of frontier tech has arrived. From literal rocket science to renewable energy, these entrepreneurs are pioneers, charting a course toward more efficient and sustainable industries.

These trends do more than showcase the brilliance of individual entrepreneurs; they illuminate the paths that entire ecosystems can follow.

Behind every successful founder is a network of champions — mentors, investors, and peers –– who create true magic. We believe that Endeavor’s magic is rooted in making these connections part of a founder’s everyday life and inspiring them to pay it forward, creating a multiplier effect of positive change.

As we look ahead to 2025 and beyond, let us continue to celebrate ambition, challenge norms, and support those daring enough to dream big. Because when we do, entrepreneurs don’t just grow — they multiply.
