ENDEAVOR SELECTION TEAM


This month, Endeavor selected 22 entrepreneurs leading 11 companies during our April International Selection Panels (ISP).

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. The panelists then discuss the candidates and vote on whether to select them to become Endeavor Entrepreneurs.

Kredete

Entrepreneur: Adeola Adedewe
Endeavor Office: Nigeria

What they do: Founded in 2023 in New York, Kredete is a cross-border settlement company built on proprietary stablecoin rails that bypass SWIFT and correspondent banking. It settles payouts in local currency across 50+ countries, with a focus on Africa, serving both diaspora consumers — through a remittance and credit-building superapp — and institutional clients such as banks and fintechs,through API-based settlement and reconciliation tools. Kredete has raised $25M from investors including Partech and AfricInvest.

Who they are: Kredete was founded by Adeola (CEO), a Nigerian-born entrepreneur who moved to the United States over 15 years ago. His founding insight came from personal experience: despite stable employment and strong academic credentials, he was rejected seventeen times for a credit card — a barrier faced by millions of immigrants across the US, Canada, and the UK. He went on to work at JPMorgan processing cross-border payments from Nigeria, Ghana, Hong Kong, and Singapore into New York, where he saw firsthand how slow and costly global settlement infrastructure was. These two experiences — being shut out of the US credit system as an immigrant, and witnessing its inefficiencies from inside one of the world’s largest banks — became the foundation for Kredete.

Entrepreneurs: Derek Crain and Jessica Crain
Endeavor Office: Midwest – USA

Derek is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a 30-year career in mental health, spanning residential behavioral health, hospital social work, and emergency medicine, before building his own private practice specializing in mindfulness and addiction. His experience gave him firsthand insight into a gap that clinical education rarely addresses: the operational and business infrastructure needed to sustain a private practice. He also served as a clinical assistant professor and affiliate clinical instructor at the University of Washington’s School of Social Work and School of Nursing. Jessica brings 18 years in healthcare, anchored by her tenure as a Registered Nurse in Oncology and Obstetrics at the University of Washington Medical Center.
