<strong>IMPACT</strong> <strong>REPORT</strong><br />

2007–2008


CO-FOUNDER & CEO LINDA ROTTENBERG<br />

Dear Friends and Family of <strong>Endeavor</strong>:<br />

In 2007, <strong>Endeavor</strong> hit an incredible milestone. MercadoLibre, an e-commerce<br />

auction site run by two Argentine High-Impact Entrepreneurs, became the first<br />

<strong>Endeavor</strong> company to go public on the NASDAQ. When we founded <strong>Endeavor</strong><br />

eleven years ago, the thought that an <strong>Endeavor</strong> Entrepreneur would ring the<br />

closing bell in Times Square was simply a crazy dream.<br />

“<strong>Endeavor</strong> was formed for the purpose of promoting<br />

entrepreneurs in emerging markets.<br />

Its basic model is to link up small and midsize<br />

businesses with seasoned entrepreneurs so<br />

that little guys and gals can get the advice<br />

and contacts they need to grow their companies<br />

into bigger businesses that can employ more<br />

people — the best antipoverty program of all.”<br />

Thomas L. Friedman,<br />

Best–selling author & Pulitzer–Prize winning columnist<br />

The World Is Flat: A Brief History of the Twenty–first<br />

Century Version 3.0<br />

But, this is EXACTLY why <strong>Endeavor</strong> works with High-Impact Entrepreneurs:<br />

they defy the odds and disrupt the status quo. In the process, they transform<br />

their communities, their economies and— as MercadoLibre has shown— the<br />

culture of a continent.<br />

This penchant for disruptive change has rubbed off onto <strong>Endeavor</strong> itself.<br />

Eleven years ago, I didn’t expect us to enter the Middle East. Yet, we recently<br />

launched in Egypt and Jordan, where the call for High-Impact Entrepreneurship<br />

is loud and clear. Every business leader I have met correlates entrepreneurship<br />

with peace and prosperity.<br />

Eleven years ago, I didn’t expect <strong>Endeavor</strong> to take a leading role in Global<br />

Entrepreneurship Week— the largest outreach campaign for entrepreneurship<br />

ever. As <strong>Endeavor</strong>’s reputation builds in emerging economies, institutions like<br />

the Kauffman Foundation are approaching us to help unleash the power of<br />

entrepreneurship more broadly.<br />

Eleven years ago, I didn’t expect <strong>Endeavor</strong> Entrepreneurs to give back to <strong>Endeavor</strong><br />

in the ways they have. From the 2% equity give-back program in Brazil to <strong>Endeavor</strong><br />

Entrepreneurs serving on the boards of five affiliates and even the Global board, it<br />

is their enduring support of <strong>Endeavor</strong> that makes the virtuous cycle of growth a<br />

wonderful reality.<br />

Finally, eleven years ago, I didn’t realize how a High-Impact start-up called eBay<br />

would one day dramatically affect the growth of <strong>Endeavor</strong>. This year, Omidyar<br />

Network— the philanthropic vehicle of eBay’s founder—pledged up to $10<br />

million to support and expand <strong>Endeavor</strong>’s operations. This is the single largest<br />

gift to <strong>Endeavor</strong> in our history.<br />

As our entrepreneurs can attest, there’s always so much more to do. There are more<br />

economies to launch in, more High-Impact Entrepreneurs to identify and support,<br />

and millions more young people to inspire through great stories. Omidyar Network<br />

has even challenged us to do so: every dollar that we raise past our operating<br />

budget will be matched up to $4 million by them.<br />

Join us and help us have more impact than ever before.<br />

Fondly,<br />

Linda<br />

INTRODUCTION<br />

“You can no longer avoid having<br />

entrepreneurial activity in your country<br />

if you hope to be competitive because<br />

the revolution is taking place everywhere.”<br />

“These ten years have proved that <strong>Endeavor</strong><br />

can affect the rate and degree of potential<br />

success of the people it touches.”<br />

William A. Sahlman,<br />

<strong>Endeavor</strong> Global Advisory Board, Founding Co-Chairman


Defining High-Impact<br />

Entrepreneurship<br />

High-Impact Entrepreneurs have ground-breaking ideas,<br />

dogged determination, and infinite ambition.<br />

Their innovations make people’s<br />

lives easier, safer, and richer.<br />

IT BEGINS WITH<br />

A BLANK SHEET OF PAPER.<br />

6<br />

7


Their businesses create hundreds,<br />

if not thousands, of jobs that<br />

stimulate economic growth and<br />

spur development.<br />

These incomes enable families to afford health services,<br />

purchase food and clean water, develop domestic savings,<br />

receive primary and secondary educations,<br />

and reach new standards of living.<br />

Their stories inspire<br />

others to become<br />

empowered entrepreneurs.<br />

Imagine a world without them.<br />

THE ENTREPRENEUR SEES SETBACKS<br />

AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN AND GROW.<br />

<strong>Endeavor</strong> has spent the last 11 years carefully<br />

searching for those unique individuals in 11 emerging<br />

economies. We have developed a portfolio of 333<br />

High-Impact Entrepreneurs representing 220 companies.<br />

If launched in Silicon Valley,<br />

these High-Impact Entrepreneurs<br />

would have been the buzz<br />

of the blogosphere.<br />

Instead, <strong>Endeavor</strong>’s High-Impact Entrepreneurs launched<br />

in emerging markets where they are often overlooked<br />

and face significant barriers to success.<br />

They encounter few role models, a lack of trust,<br />

a limited pool of management talent, an inability<br />

to access smart capital, and insufficient contacts.<br />

In order to achieve their potential,<br />

they need a tremendous amount of support.<br />

THE ENTREPRENEUR BELIEVES IN AN IDEA<br />

AND MAKES THE NECESSARY SACRIFICES TO FOLLOW IT THROUGH.<br />

10<br />

11


This is where <strong>Endeavor</strong> steps in.<br />

<strong>Endeavor</strong> tackles these challenges by providing<br />

access to the tools High-Impact Entrepreneurs need to scale:<br />

mentors, networks, connections,<br />

capital, a community of like-minded<br />

entrepreneurs and a healthy<br />

dose of inspiration.<br />

In time, these entrepreneurs who launched in<br />

Latin America, Egypt, India, Jordan, South Africa<br />

or Turkey are becoming role models, encouraging others<br />

to innovate and take risks. Today they are contributing<br />

to the sustainable growth of their economies.<br />

Tomorrow they will create the next<br />

Silicon Valleys at their doorstep.<br />

This is High-Impact<br />

Entrepreneurship.<br />

THE ART OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP IS<br />

THE ABILITY TO TURN VISION INTO REALITY.<br />

12<br />

WHY ENDEAVOR MATTERS<br />

“We need to recognize that only a<br />

select few entrepreneurs will create<br />

the businesses that will take people<br />

out of poverty, encourage innovation,<br />

create jobs, reduce unemployment,<br />

make markets more competitive,<br />

and enhance economic growth.”<br />

THE ENTREPRENEURSHIP SPACE IN<br />

THE DEVELOPING WORLD<br />

Many organizations play a hand in supporting entrepreneurs, but<br />

<strong>Endeavor</strong> has a unique niche focusing on High-Impact Entrepreneurs.<br />

The Mexican government researched just how important the creation of 50<br />

new firms is to its economy. The results are clear: the very type of businesses<br />

that <strong>Endeavor</strong> supports—those looking to grow to over 500 employees —<br />

have a huge impact on GDP:<br />

“ENTREPRENEURSHIP | SPREADING THE GOSPEL”<br />

AN EFFORT TO PROMOTE ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN THE<br />

DEVELOPING WORLD IS BEARING FRUIT<br />

“It is routine for entrepreneurs to consult their networks of mentors in Silicon<br />

Valley. But in much of the world, such networks are notable by their absence<br />

—and so, too, are examples of Silicon Valley-style successful entrepreneurship.<br />

Changing this was why <strong>Endeavor</strong> was created in 1997.”<br />

“ENDEAVOR’S MAGIC WORKS MOST POWERFULLY IN ITS<br />

SELECTION PROCESS... The aim is to identify those who can succeed<br />

on a scale that will make them into national role models, and then provide<br />

them with every possible support. But the process is designed to benefit all<br />

entrants, by helping them define their visions more clearly.”<br />

“ENDEAVOR HAS “CREATED ISLANDS OF HOPE,” says [<strong>Endeavor</strong><br />

Entrepreneur and Board Member Wences] Casares. Now it must find ways<br />

to “change continents, not just little islands.” This has been recognized by<br />

<strong>Endeavor</strong>’s global board, which recently adopted an ambitious plan to<br />

expand to 25 countries by 2015.”<br />

OMIDYAR NETWORK COMMITS $10 MILLION<br />

DOLLARS TO SUPPORT ENDEAVOR OPERATIONS<br />

In 2008, <strong>Endeavor</strong> received the single largest contribution in its history when<br />

Omidyar Network committed up to $10 million to support <strong>Endeavor</strong>’s operations<br />

worldwide. Omidyar Network’s support will enable <strong>Endeavor</strong> to expand rapidly<br />

into more emerging economies, select more High-Impact Entrepreneurs, provide<br />

stronger services for High-Impact Entrepreneurs, and share the inspiring stories<br />

of <strong>Endeavor</strong> Entrepreneurs with a larger audience.<br />

ENDEAVOR THANKS OMIDYAR NETWORK FOR ITS GENEROSITY<br />

AS WE EMBARK ON THIS DYNAMIC PARTNERSHIP.<br />

Four million dollars of Omidyar Network’s support are conditional matching<br />

funds. Therefore, every dollar that you invest in <strong>Endeavor</strong> will be doubled<br />

through Omidyar Network. Your support will have greater impact than<br />

ever before!<br />

“<strong>Endeavor</strong>’s innovative approach, potential for<br />

enormous scale, and ability to show tangible results<br />

make it a natural fit for the Omidyar Network portfolio,<br />

and we’re excited to work with them to expand their<br />

reach to 25 countries over the next several years.”<br />

I have developed and make them<br />

available for entrepreneurs.”<br />

BEHIND THE NUMBERS THE POWER OF HIGH-<strong>IMPACT</strong> BUSINESS<br />

HIGH-<strong>IMPACT</strong> ENTREPRENEURS excel in a marketplace where<br />

their desire to start a business and the potential for more returns from<br />

self-employment exists. <strong>Endeavor</strong> Entrepreneurs have seen their<br />

incomes rise 113% since becoming entrepreneurs.<br />

ENDEAVOR ENTREPRENEURS take measures to differentiate<br />

themselves above the perception of corruption in their culture. An<br />

<strong>Endeavor</strong> Entrepreneur is 92% more likely to have external financial<br />

assessments compared to the average company in his/her market.<br />

HIGH-<strong>IMPACT</strong> ENTREPRENEURS create the most jobs. 28<br />

<strong>Endeavor</strong> Companies employ more than 500 people in their<br />

local country.<br />

HIGH-<strong>IMPACT</strong> ENTREPRENEURS often have strong international<br />

appeal, indicating a business’ long term sustainability and<br />

growth potential. An <strong>Endeavor</strong> Entrepreneur is twice as likely to have<br />

international presence than the average company in his/her country.<br />

ENDEAVOR ENTREPRENEURS innovate in markets and<br />

create new ones. They attract others into the industries, sparking<br />

growth. 62% of <strong>Endeavor</strong> Entrepreneurs had a competitor<br />

replicate his/her business practices.<br />

HIGH-<strong>IMPACT</strong> ENTREPRENEURS are more dedicated to<br />

innovation; <strong>Endeavor</strong> Entrepreneurs spend 20 times more on<br />

R&D than the average entrepreneur in the emerging markets.<br />

They are also 88% more likely to innovate in their market,<br />

based on use of new technology and patent registration.<br />

HIGH-<strong>IMPACT</strong> ENTREPRENEURS show commitment to the<br />

creation of an entrepreneurial ecosystem. <strong>Endeavor</strong> Entrepreneurs have<br />

invested over $10 million in new businesses as an Angel Investor or<br />

Venture Capitalist. In addition, 55% of <strong>Endeavor</strong> Entrepreneurs have<br />

been involved in the creation of another venture.<br />

ENDEAVOR changes the investment climate. 27 new Venture Capital<br />

funds have been launched by members of <strong>Endeavor</strong>’s network since<br />

those members joined <strong>Endeavor</strong>’s network.<br />

ENDEAVOR helps entrepreneurs achieve their high-impact potential.<br />

82% of <strong>Endeavor</strong> Entrepreneurs state that they would not have<br />

otherwise been able to meet their mentor without the <strong>Endeavor</strong><br />

network. <strong>Endeavor</strong> Entrepreneurs also have accessed nearly<br />

$1 billion in funding subsequent to their selection by <strong>Endeavor</strong>.<br />

of our country, generating jobs and new horizons<br />

thanks to those leaders who decide to follow the<br />

entrepreneurial path.”<br />

Alvaro Saieh,<br />

President, Corpgroup<br />

<strong>Endeavor</strong> <strong>Chile</strong>, Board Member<br />

Both <strong>Endeavor</strong> <strong>Chile</strong> and <strong>Endeavor</strong> Argentina turned 10 years old! Throughout the year,<br />

each affiliate has celebrated with a series of High-Impact events: conferences, workshops,<br />

and, last but not least, a 10km race.<br />

Most importantly, each affiliate has taken impressive steps to create entrepreneurial<br />

ecosystems beyond the capital cities. <strong>Endeavor</strong> <strong>Chile</strong> launched operations in Patagonia<br />

and <strong>Endeavor</strong> Argentina opened a new office in Córdoba in the central region of the<br />

country.<br />

These regional offices not only will uncover tougher-to-find High-Impact Entrepreneurs,<br />

but also will collaborate with local businesses, academia, other NGOs, and the media to<br />

invest in and spread the word on entrepreneurship.<br />

<strong>Endeavor</strong> <strong>Chile</strong> has also pioneered the first communal office space for <strong>Endeavor</strong> staff,<br />

entrepreneurs, and VentureCorps, where entrepreneurs at all stages can come and<br />

work together. None of this could have happened in Argentina without <strong>Endeavor</strong>’s<br />

first two supporters in emerging markets, Eduardo Elsztain and Woods Staton. After<br />

ten years, Eduardo plans to turn the chairmanship of <strong>Endeavor</strong> Argentina over to an<br />

<strong>Endeavor</strong> Entrepreneur—a remarkable first for <strong>Endeavor</strong> and a dream come true<br />

for Eduardo.<br />

In <strong>Chile</strong> none of this could have happened without the support of Alvaro Saieh, Jose<br />

Luis del Rio, and Salvador Said, who resurrected <strong>Endeavor</strong> <strong>Chile</strong> after a perceived lack<br />

of business interest in supporting up-and-coming entrepreneurs. Now, <strong>Endeavor</strong> <strong>Chile</strong><br />

has among the most prominent boards of directors of any institution in the country.<br />

Congratulations to both affiliates on ten incredible years!<br />

Africans for the call center industry in<br />

South Africa. Candice specifically looks<br />

the 21st century economy. In doing so,<br />

she has created a sustainable business that<br />

is developing thousands of skilled laborers.<br />

<strong>Endeavor</strong>’s work with CallForce focuses<br />

on increasing its innovation in the market<br />

place. In the summer of 2007, an MBA<br />

student from Cornell helped develop a<br />

new agent retention strategy. The findings<br />

were so stellar that Candice is in the process<br />

of publishing a white paper for the<br />

<strong>Endeavor</strong> has introduced its entrepreneurs to business icons<br />

such as Ratan Tata, Jack Welch, and Michael Dell.<br />

“For mentors, supporting <strong>Endeavor</strong> Entrepreneurs<br />

changes how they look at the role of young enterprises<br />

INFLUENCE<br />

BY SUPPORTING HIGH-<strong>IMPACT</strong> ENTREPRENEURS, ENDEAVOR<br />

CONTRIBUTES TO THE LARGER GOAL OF TRANSFORMING<br />

ENTREPRENEURIAL ECOSYSTEMS IN EMERGING ECONOMIES.<br />

Emerging markets can create sophisticated, competitive capital markets.<br />

This is dependent not just on supporting High-Impact entrepreneurs,<br />

but also on several other key change agents: the government,<br />

universities, the investment community, and the media. <strong>Endeavor</strong><br />

works closely with many of these institutions and is changing the<br />

way business is done in these economies.<br />

INVESTORS<br />

<strong>Endeavor</strong> has helped its entrepreneurs secure nearly $1 billion in capital and<br />

can count over 1000 potential investors in its network.<br />

ENDEAVOR’S LOCAL NETWORK HAS LAUNCHED 27<br />

GOVERNMENTS AND CAPITAL MARKETS<br />

Governments determine the policies and regulations that create the enabling environment<br />

for entrepreneurship. <strong>Endeavor</strong> Entrepreneurs are role models whose strong examples<br />

of success have led governments to approach <strong>Endeavor</strong> for policy-related advice.<br />

In 2007, <strong>Endeavor</strong> Uruguay was invited to join the Executive Committee of National<br />

Agency for Investigation and Innovation—a government taskforce that aims to develop<br />

programs that will promote and invest in scientific innovation. The program will invest<br />

in both greater R&D and in entrepreneurs directly.<br />

In 2007, <strong>Endeavor</strong> <strong>Chile</strong> was invited to join a task force on competitiveness, growth,<br />

employment, and equality. <strong>Endeavor</strong> <strong>Chile</strong> specifically proposed a $60 million program<br />

that focuses on engaging youth in entrepreneurship that is currently being processed.<br />

In 2004, President Vicente Fox’s government approached <strong>Endeavor</strong> about creating<br />

conditions to foster entrepreneurship. <strong>Endeavor</strong> Mexico worked with Nacional Financiera,<br />

S.N.C. Development Banking Institution—a branch of the Mexican government—to<br />

“mini-<strong>Endeavor</strong>s” by selecting young entrepreneurs—some of whom may become<br />

full fledged <strong>Endeavor</strong> Entrepreneurs—and then providing them with a network of<br />

local business leaders and consulting services.<br />

MEDIA<br />

The media plays a hugely important role in legitimizing the work of High-<br />

Impact Entrepreneurs. This is especially critical in cultures that do not celebrate<br />

the success of entrepreneurs.<br />

to <strong>Endeavor</strong> Brazil and $300 in monthly service fees. The 2% equity will be paid out in the<br />

event of liquidity. 100% of <strong>Endeavor</strong> Brazil Entrepreneurs are participating in this give-back<br />

program. Combined with a fundraising gala, <strong>Endeavor</strong> Brazil will be fully sustainable by<br />

2010 —10 years after its launch.<br />

The collective value of <strong>Endeavor</strong> companies in Brazil at the end of 2007 was approximately<br />

$1.37BB, a 35% growth rate from 2006. <strong>Endeavor</strong> Brazil is building a formal endowment<br />

to collect the future liquidity of donated equity currently valued around $20MM.<br />

<strong>Endeavor</strong> Brazil’s Luiz Chicani was the first High-Impact Entrepreneur to donate<br />

liquidated equity to <strong>Endeavor</strong>.<br />

The reinvestment is spreading to other affiliates. In 2008, Nutra Bien was<br />

sold to a major <strong>Chile</strong>an food producer and distributor. As part of that sale,<br />

founders Patricio and Isabella made the first equity donation to <strong>Endeavor</strong><br />

<strong>Chile</strong> by <strong>Endeavor</strong> Entrepreneurs.<br />

“Before <strong>Endeavor</strong> I felt like I was traveling on a gravel<br />

road. Since we met <strong>Endeavor</strong>, I suddenly see a ten-lane<br />

highway in front of me.”<br />

Patricio Jaras,<br />

Nutra Bien<br />

CASE STUDY:<br />

WENCES CASARES & THE VIRTUOUS CYCLE OF ENDEAVOR<br />

In 1998, Wences, the 23-year-old son of a sheep farmer in rural Argentina, launched<br />

Patagon.com, Latin America’s first online brokerage firm. Wences had been turned down<br />

by more than 30 local investors when <strong>Endeavor</strong> selected him.<br />

<strong>Endeavor</strong> helped Wences raise $4 million in equity financing. Two years later, he sold the<br />

business to Spain’s Banco Santander for $750 million. Since then, Wences has donated over<br />

a quarter of a million dollars (plus options in a new company) to <strong>Endeavor</strong> and joined<br />

<strong>Endeavor</strong> Global’s Board of Directors.<br />

This unstoppable entrepreneur has launched several new companies: Lemon Bank, a<br />

Brazilian-based bank for the poor; Wanako Games; Classified Media Group; MECK,<br />

an investment fund; and BlingNation, an open alternative payment network.<br />

Now, Wences has become a sought-after angel investor. He has financed <strong>Endeavor</strong><br />

Entrepreneurs, including Needish.com, a <strong>Chile</strong>an start-up that <strong>Endeavor</strong> selected<br />

in April 2008.<br />

Perhaps most significantly, Wences has become an iconic role model:<br />

“IF WENCES CAN DO IT, I CAN DO IT TOO!” HAS<br />

BECOME AN OFTEN-HEARD RALLYING CRY IN<br />

THE SOUTHERN CONE.”<br />

“When I see the <strong>Endeavor</strong> Entrepreneurs<br />

helping each other and also giving<br />

back to society, I can see that <strong>Endeavor</strong>’s<br />

impact is exponential and that it is<br />

spurring a revolution.”<br />

COUNTRY BOARDS OF DIRECTORS<br />

On January 28th, 2008 <strong>Endeavor</strong> South Africa’s<br />

VentureCorps member Sheldon Cohen was sadly and<br />

unfairly taken from us. He had just served as a selection<br />

panelist at the 4th International Selection Panel (ISP)<br />

in South Africa.<br />

Sheldon will always be remembered as one of South<br />

Africa’s greatest mentors of young entrepreneurs.<br />
