Endeavor Co-Founder and CEO Linda Rottenberg was honored by Bay Area nonprofit organization Silicon Valley Forum at their 20th annual Visionary Awards held June 8, 2017. Dubbed the “Oscars of Silicon Valley,” the Visionary Awards recognize industry leaders who have pioneered innovation and fostered the spirit of entrepreneurship, and whose unique vision continues to shape Silicon Valley.

After an introduction by Jason Green, one of Endeavor’s earliest supporters, Linda spoke about Endeavor’s founding vision for high-impact entrepreneurship, how that vision has evolved, and what Endeavor has achieved over the past two decades.
