21 New Endeavor Entrepreneurs Selected in Warsaw

In the heart of Europe, Warsaw set the stage for our 103rd in-person International Selection Panel (ISP), held from June 23-25, 2025. Entrepreneurs from around the world gathered to pitch their businesses to a global panel of business leaders and mentors, receiving invaluable feedback found nowhere else. After three days of connecting, sharing, and learning, Endeavor selected 21 entrepreneurs leading 14 companies that are innovating across industries and regions.

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 those who commit to reinvesting time and resources into their local entrepreneurial ecosystems. By doing so, they help build the next generation of entrepreneurs, sparking a Multiplier Effect™. During the ISP, our panelists interviewed entrepreneurs about their businesses and evaluated their potential for high-impact growth.

A.D. Cleantech

Entrepreneur: Mauricio Navarrete
Endeavor Office: Chile

What they do: Founded in 2021, A.D. Cleantech provides sustainable and safe specialty chemical solutions for industrial applications, including food and animal protein, energy, mining, and water treatment. In these industries, A.D. Cleantech improves hygiene and disinfection, extends food shelf life, and enables water reuse—all with non-toxic, biodegradable products that outperform traditional chlorine or ammonia-based disinfectants. The company serves hundreds of B2B clients across various industries, including Dole and Cermaq in the food sector, as well as SQM and Abastible in mining and energy.

Who they are: Mauricio’s journey to founding A.D. Cleantech began on the football field, where he played as a professional goalkeeper on Chile’s national team. That experience instilled in him discipline, resilience, and a competitive mindset. After retiring from sports, Mauricio earned a business management degree and became a serial entrepreneur, founding five companies with three successful exits. In 2012, Mauricio shifted his focus to chemical innovation by founding Adquim, which developed liquids to clean gas emissions from fuel oil. Adquim grew significantly over the next few years, especially after doubling down in the energy sector in 2018. In 2021, he spun out A.D. Cleantech from Adquim to focus on biosecurity and environmental solutions.

Entrepreneur spotlight – Why we’re excited:

A.D. Cleantech perfectly exemplifies our thesis that world-class innovation can emerge from unexpected places. This R&D-heavy sustainable chemicals company wasn’t born in Silicon Valley or another established research hub, but instead grew from Chile’s Atacama region. The company demonstrates that industry-leading sustainable technology can flourish and grow from regions not typically associated with deep tech development. As our sole Chilean representative at the ISP, A.D. Cleantech represents its home nation’s economic strengths by developing sustainable solutions for the country’s key industries – food and mining. Their non-toxic and sustainable chemicals are making a real difference in both sustainability and efficacy for the country’s core industries. As the world’s top producer of copper, second in lithium, and second in farmed salmon production, Chile’s has real economic stakes in these sectors. Beyond its domestic impact, the company has been scaling from Atacama to regional markets, and soon globally.

They’re not just building a successful business that strengthens critical domestic industries – they’re demonstrating how homegrown innovation can spread worldwide to tackle global challenges.

Entrepreneurs: Ty Eldridge and David Betancur

Who they are: Brasol was founded by college friends Ty and David. Ty, an American with 15+ years in global energy development—including co-founding Shift Energy in Japan—brings deep technical and investment expertise. David, a Colombian entrepreneur with a background in credit trading and investing, has spent over a decade in Brazil navigating its complex financial landscape. Together, they saw Brazil’s untapped potential for distributed energy and launched Brasol to connect institutional capital with high-quality local infrastructure, combining global vision with local execution.

Docplanner

Entrepreneur: Mariusz Gralewski
Endeavor Office: Poland

What they do: Founded in Poland in 2012, Docplanner is a leading healthtech platform that connects patients with healthcare professionals across Europe and Latin America. The company provides a SaaS solution for clinics and hospitals to manage appointments, patient communication, and digital workflows, while also offering an online marketplace for tens of millions of patients to search, review, and book medical appointments. Docplanner is the market leader in its largest markets, including Poland, Italy, Brazil, and Mexico.

Who they are: Mariusz is a serial entrepreneur and is widely recognized as a pioneer of Polish tech entrepreneurship. At 21 years old, in 2005, he founded GoldenLine, which quickly became one of the country’s leading digital recruitment platforms and was acquired by Agora, a Polish media group. Mariusz is a prolific local angel investor. Through a study of the entrepreneurship ecosystem for tech companies in Poland, Endeavor’s research identified Mariusz and Docplanner as the #1 “Multiplier” in the local ecosystem.

Entrepreneur spotlight – Why we’re excited:

Sometimes, we help to create Multipliers; other times, our role is to amplify the impact of existing ones. By any definition, Docplanner is one of Poland’s most consequential tech companies: it is the country’s first unicorn, one of the first local companies to scale beyond regional borders, and a destination for Poland’s top tech talent. Docplanner is the market leader not only in its native Poland, but in several countries in Europe and Latin America, including Brazil and Mexico.

Mariusz is the kind of tenacious yet humble founder we love to back. Selecting him is meant to send a message: global, best-in-class businesses can be built from anywhere in the world.

Senior Manager, Entrepreneur Selection

Exoticca

Entrepreneur: Pere Valles
Endeavor Office: Spain

What they do: Founded in Spain in 2015, Exoticca is a digital tour operator offering multi-day, multi-destination travel packages to over 70 countries worldwide. The company uses proprietary booking technology and curated itineraries to make it easy and affordable for travelers to explore faraway destinations—like Morocco, Thailand, or Peru—with minimal hassle.

Earlier in his career, he served as CFO at GlobalNet, a NASDAQ-listed VoIP company in the early 2000s. Beyond Exoticca, Pere is a co-founder and General Partner at Smartech Capital, a Barcelona-based venture fund.

Getmobil

Entrepreneurs: Mehmet Ertan Uygun and Zeynep Uygun
Endeavor Office: Türkiye

What they do: New smartphones are more expensive in Türkiye than almost anywhere else in the world as a result of import taxes. An iPhone 16 costs almost 2x more than it does in the US. Amidst this landscape, Getmobil is a recommerce platform that aims to form the backbone of the country’s refurbished electronics market. The company sources used electronics (primarily smartphones) from consumers and trade-in partners, refurbishes them, and resells them through its e-commerce platform, third-party marketplaces, partner retailers, and other channels. In this way, Getmobil offers consumers high-quality, refurbished electronics at competitive prices.

Who they are: Getmobil is led by siblings and co-founders, Mehmet and Zeynep. Mehmet is a serial entrepreneur who co-founded his first venture, Groop App, during his studies at Koç University in Istanbul. After briefly working in sales, he became interested in the refurbished electronics sector when he broke his phone screen and saw how outdated and inefficient the industry was. This experience led him to leave his job and open a phone repair shop. Mehmet convinced Zeynep to leave her career in recruitment and executive search in London to launch Getmobil. Together, they ran Getmobil as a traditional electronics repair shop, gaining first-hand knowledge of the space. They eventually pivoted Getmobil from a small shop into a broader platform serving multiple sides of the second-hand electronics market.

Jisr

Entrepreneur: Mohammed Akkar
Endeavor Office: Saudi Arabia

What they do: For growing companies in Saudi Arabia and the wider GCC, Jisr is a strategic workforce and spend platform that brings HR and Finance into perfect sync. Founded in 2016 (formerly Arbab), Jisr provides companies with a comprehensive platform that streamlines every aspect of human capital management, from hiring to payroll to employee management. The platform is fully integrated with the broader ecosystem, including ERPs, banks, and health insurance providers. Built specifically for the Saudi market, Jisr features integrations with key government entities and portals to automate compliance and reporting. Today, Jisr is trusted by over 4,000 HR and finance teams in the Kingdom and has over 450,000 registered employees on its system.

Who they are: Mohamed began his career at Microsoft, working with software solutions for three years before founding ClickApps, a software development company. As ClickApps grew to around 50 employees, Mohamed searched for an affordable, localized HR solution but found none that fit the needs of Saudi SMBs. Through conversations with his clients, he discovered that many faced similar challenges: they lacked the funds to invest in premier HR solutions that weren’t even localized to their market, and their HR departments were reluctant to adopt new high-friction systems. This validated the need for a user-friendly, market-specific HR platform. In 2016, Mohamed began testing an MVP to address this gap, which became Jisr in 2017.

Jooble

Entrepreneur: Roman Prokofiev
Endeavor Office: Ukraine

What they do: Founded in 2006, Jooble is an international job search website that serves users in 67 countries. The company aggregates thousands of job openings from various sources (e.g., job boards, company websites, classifieds) on a single page to simplify the job discovery process for job seekers at no cost to them. Jooble is one of the leading job search platforms globally in terms of traffic, with ~30M monthly visitors.

Who they are: Roman was born and raised in Kherson, a small city in southern Ukraine. He has an impressive track record in the Ukrainian startup ecosystem. During his first year in college, Roman worked as a software engineer and employee number five at Terrasoft (now Creatio, one of the most recent Unicorns from Ukraine). Shortly after, he founded his first company, TeamSoft, which specialized in developing software solutions for pharmaceutical companies. In 2006, Roman teamed up with a longtime friend, Eugene Sobakarov, to launch Jooble. Roman is not only a serial entrepreneur but also a leading figure in the Ukrainian ecosystem with an existing Multiplier Effect™. He has invested in numerous companies and actively mentors the next generation of entrepreneurs.

Livance

Entrepreneurs: Claudio Mifano, Fábio Medaglia Soccol, and Gustavo Köpke Machado
Endeavor Office: Brazil

What they do: Founded in 2017, Livance is a Brazilian healthtech company offering pay-per-use medical office spaces for doctors and healthcare professionals. Through a membership model, Livance provides shared physical spaces and digital tools such as integrated scheduling, payments, and remote secretary services. This allows professionals to practice independently without the bureaucracy and overhead cost of setting up their own clinic. To date, Livance has currently over 8,000 healthcare professionals as paying members, with more than 1.5 million consultations. Beyond its core membership business, Livance also partners with health insurance plans through its Saludia brand, leveraging its extensive network of professionals to deliver patient care.

Who they are: Livance was founded by Claudio (CEO), Gustavo (COO), and Fábio (CXO). Claudio and Gustavo met in the Startup Garage class while pursuing their master’s degrees at Stanford University. They shared the desire to become entrepreneurs and build something impactful in their home country. Gustavo introduced Claudio to Fábio, a medical doctor who brings a blend of clinical and entrepreneurial experience. The idea for Livance was born out of the pain points Fábio experienced running his own private practice for 15 years.

MDP

Entrepreneur: Ahmed Nafie
Endeavor Office: Egypt

What they do: Founded in 2020, MDP is a B2B provider of digital Banking-as-a-Service infrastructure for banks and fintechs across Africa. The company offers three core services: card issuance, payment processing, and white-label digital solutions for consumer-facing applications. As the largest issuer-processor in North Africa, MDP serves major clients like Banque Misr (one of Egypt’s largest banks), MNT-Halan (Egypt’s first unicorn), and Telda (Egypt’s first digital bank) in Egypt, but also has customers across Africa in Kenya, Ghana, Libya, and more.

Who they are: Ahmed graduated in industrial engineering from the American University in Cairo in 2009. After two years at Unilever, he joined his family’s card manufacturing business, Masria Cards. Ahmed noticed the factory was operating below capacity and saw an opportunity for growth. Over the next several years, he led efforts to transform the company’s focus from government projects to producing cards for banking clients. The company expanded its client base significantly, acquiring over 130 banks across 35 countries in Africa, the Middle East, and Eastern Europe by 2017. In 2018, Ahmed began developing a digital and payment processing arm of the business, leading to the founding of MDP in 2020. Today, as CEO of MSS Holding, he oversees MDP’s evolution from card manufacturing to a full-stack payment solutions provider

Minka

Entrepreneur: Domagoj Rozic
Endeavor Office: Colombia

What they do: Founded in 2018, Minka builds open, cloud-based technology that makes it fast, simple, and cost-effective to create or connect payment systems, allowing money to move as easily as digital information. Its system is built on an open ledger platform. Minka’s Payments Switch helps central institutions, such as clearing houses, automate and coordinate payment flows across financial networks. The Payment Hub is an integration layer for financial institutions like banks and fintechs to manage transactions and connect to external payment ecosystems through one API. The company has raised funds from top investors like Tiger Global, FinTech Collective, and Kaszek.

Who they are: Domagoj (Dom) is a serial entrepreneur who co-founded his first startup, Cognita, in his early twenties. He then went on to co-found Bumbar, an autonomous airship drone company, and Supra, a B2B cross-border payments startup, both of which are still active today. In 2013, he joined Infobip, Croatia’s first unicorn, leading product development and expansion into Latin America, and later became Country Manager for Colombia. The idea for Minka came when Dom struggled to send $2 to his neighbor, a process that took three days and cost him more in fees, inspiring him to create Minka. Dom is now a respected fintech leader and a venture partner at Crestone VC, supporting digital transformation and partnerships in emerging markets.

NorthLadder

Entrepreneurs: Sandeep Shetty and Mihin Shah
Endeavor Office: UAE

What they do: Over the next five years, the pre-owned smartphone market is expected to grow three times faster than the new smartphone market. NorthLadder is a trade-in platform that facilitates the resale of pre-owned electronics across the Middle East and Europe. The company partners with leading OEMs, telecom operators, e-commerce platforms, and electronics retailers to offer trade-in programs to their customers. NorthLadder handles every step of the journey—from device assessment to resale—to simplify the process for its partners and maximize resale values.

Who they are: NorthLadder is led by Sandeep (CEO) and Mihin (COO). Both were born and raised in Mumbai, India, and they met at McKinsey & Company while working as consultants at the firm’s Dubai office. Prior to joining NorthLadder, Sandeep worked as Managing Director of the core ride-hailing business at Careem (Endeavor Entrepreneur), which sold to Uber for $3.1B in the largest exit in the MENA region’s history. On his part, Mihin spent the previous seven years at Landmark Group, the largest retail conglomerate in the Middle East region, the last five as the company’s Chief Supply Chain Officer.

Prestamype

Entrepreneur: Carlos Ferreyros and Laure Schlesinger
Endeavor Office: Peru

What they do: Founded in Peru in 2017, Prestamype is a fintech platform that helps underserved small and medium-sized businesses access fast, collateral-backed financing, unlocking capital that is often out of reach in Latin America’s fragmented credit markets. The platform channels funding from retail investors and institutional credit lines, using alternative data and a proprietary risk assessment model to underwrite loans backed by real estate or invoice receivables. In addition to financing, Prestamype offers digital tools for entrepreneurs, including FX services (Cambio Seguro) and e-invoicing software (Tandia), to support more efficient financial management and business growth. To date, Prestamype has facilitated over $380 million in financing and supported more than 5,600 Peruvian businesses.

Who they are: Prestamype was founded by Carlos (CEO) and Laure (COO), who first met as university students in Lima while Laure was on exchange from France. Years later, they reconnected around a shared mission to improve SME access to capital in Peru. Carlos previously worked in several early-stage ventures in the Peruvian startup ecosystem, including Cinepapaya (Endeavor Entrepreneur). His interest in SME finance was shaped by his father’s work as a financial lawyer specializing in working capital loans. Laure has worked across sustainable finance and digital ESG projects, including roles at BNP Paribas and Libélula, and gained early exposure to SME development at FUNDES. In 2016, they pooled their savings to launch Prestamype’s first MVP: a marketplace offering mortgage-backed loans to local SMEs. Today, Prestamype is a leading lending platform and digital partner for small businesses in Peru.

Rain

Entrepreneurs: Farooq Malik and Charles Naut
Endeavor Office: Puerto Rico

What they do: Founded in New York City in 2021, Rain is a financial infrastructure company that enables clients to offer stablecoin-backed Visa credit cards, allowing users to spend stablecoins for everyday transactions. Rain serves fintechs, neobanks, exchanges, and cross-border payment companies, making it easier for their users to adopt stablecoins for cross-border payments, remittances, and dollar-based savings. As a Visa Principal Member, Rain can directly issue cards without intermediaries, supporting card issuance across 100+ markets and enabling end-users to pay with digital assets anywhere Visa is accepted globally.

Who they are: Rain was co-founded by Farooq (CEO) and Charles (CTO), who met during the On Deck Fellowship for early-stage founders. Farooq, with a background as Treasurer and Investment Officer at the North American Development Bank, brought deep expertise in financial services and project finance. Charles, a computer engineer and serial entrepreneur, previously founded Playbook HR, which was acquired by Intuit, where he later served as a principal engineer. The pair initially collaborated on a fundraising platform for founders but quickly ran into the limitations of traditional financial rails. A pivotal moment came when an investor sent them funds instantly via stablecoins on Christmas Day—something impossible with legacy systems. Inspired by this experience, they launched Rain in 2021 to bring real-world utility to stablecoins.

Entrepreneur spotlight – Why we’re excited:

As someone who has historically not been a big fan or expert on crypto, I was shocked by how excited I am about Rain as a business. My biggest frustration with the space has always been that most crypto companies are built by crypto experts, for crypto experts — never making the benefits accessible or usable to the mainstream. Rain is finally changing that. It enables fintechs and startups to offer their users the advantages of stablecoins — such as protection from currency devaluation, reduced foreign exchange rates, and dollarized transactions — without the end user even knowing. For example, a freelancer in Argentina can be paid in USDC and spend anywhere Visa is accepted without either the user or the merchant realizing it’s not local fiat.

While Rain’s initial use case has centered on card issuance, our panelists and team are excited by the business’s momentum, the significant tailwinds in the stablecoin space, and the opportunity ahead. This is one to watch.
