<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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

30–40% unemployment rate. CallForce<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 />
in the larger economy. It is a win-win collaboration<br />
for all parties.”<br />
Mextra puts the “pop” in the soda can.<br />
Specifically, Mextra produces metallic<br />

Barchese, a metallurgical engineer, is the<br />

Ivan in 2004, recognizing that he had the<br />
potential to become a key global company.<br />
To help him out, <strong>Endeavor</strong> introduced Ivan<br />
to Fausto Moreira, the former CEO of Alcoa<br />
Latin America, to serve as a “padrino”<br />
—a Godfather. As Ivan says, “I can tell<br />
him my ideas, we talk strategy, and he<br />
points out the risks. And the networking!<br />
Fausto has a lot of friends. In just three<br />
years, we’ve grown to $36 million and<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 />
INSTITUTIONAL VENTURE CAPITAL FIRMS IN ECONOMIES<br />
THAT TRADITIONALLY NEVER HAD VC MONEY.<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 />

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 />
