IMPACT REPORT 

2007–2008

CO-FOUNDER & CEO LINDA ROTTENBERG 

Dear Friends and Family of Endeavor: 

In 2007, Endeavor hit an incredible milestone. MercadoLibre, an e-commerce 

auction site run by two Argentine High-Impact Entrepreneurs, became the first 

Endeavor company to go public on the NASDAQ. When we founded Endeavor 

eleven years ago, the thought that an Endeavor Entrepreneur would ring the 

closing bell in Times Square was simply a crazy dream. 

“Endeavor was formed for the purpose of promoting 

entrepreneurs in emerging markets. 

Its basic model is to link up small and midsize 

businesses with seasoned entrepreneurs so 

that little guys and gals can get the advice 

and contacts they need to grow their companies 

into bigger businesses that can employ more 

people — the best antipoverty program of all.” 

Thomas L. Friedman, 

Best–selling author & Pulitzer–Prize winning columnist 

The World Is Flat: A Brief History of the Twenty–first 

Century Version 3.0 

But, this is EXACTLY why Endeavor works with High-Impact Entrepreneurs: 

they defy the odds and disrupt the status quo. In the process, they transform 

their communities, their economies and— as MercadoLibre has shown— the 

culture of a continent. 

This penchant for disruptive change has rubbed off onto Endeavor itself. 

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

launched in Egypt and Jordan, where the call for High-Impact Entrepreneurship 

is loud and clear. Every business leader I have met correlates entrepreneurship 

with peace and prosperity. 

Eleven years ago, I didn’t expect Endeavor to take a leading role in Global 

Entrepreneurship Week— the largest outreach campaign for entrepreneurship 

ever. As Endeavor’s reputation builds in emerging economies, institutions like 

the Kauffman Foundation are approaching us to help unleash the power of 

entrepreneurship more broadly. 

Eleven years ago, I didn’t expect Endeavor Entrepreneurs to give back to Endeavor 

in the ways they have. From the 2% equity give-back program in Brazil to Endeavor 

Entrepreneurs serving on the boards of five affiliates and even the Global board, it 

is their enduring support of Endeavor that makes the virtuous cycle of growth a 

wonderful reality. 

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

would one day dramatically affect the growth of Endeavor. This year, Omidyar 

Network— the philanthropic vehicle of eBay’s founder—pledged up to $10 

million to support and expand Endeavor’s operations. This is the single largest 

gift to Endeavor in our history. 

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

economies to launch in, more High-Impact Entrepreneurs to identify and support, 

and millions more young people to inspire through great stories. Omidyar Network 

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

budget will be matched up to $4 million by them. 

Join us and help us have more impact than ever before. 

Fondly, 

Linda

INTRODUCTION 

“You can no longer avoid having 

entrepreneurial activity in your country 

if you hope to be competitive because 

the revolution is taking place everywhere.” 

“These ten years have proved that Endeavor 

can affect the rate and degree of potential 

success of the people it touches.” 

William A. Sahlman, 

Harvard Business School, Dimitri V. d’Arbeloff–Class of 1955 

Professor of Business Administration; 

Endeavor Global Advisory Board, Founding Co-Chairman

Defining High-Impact 

Entrepreneurship 

High-Impact Entrepreneurs have ground-breaking ideas, 

dogged determination, and infinite ambition. 

Their innovations make people’s 

lives easier, safer, and richer. 

IT BEGINS WITH 

A BLANK SHEET OF PAPER. 

6 

7

Their businesses create hundreds, 

if not thousands, of jobs that 

stimulate economic growth and 

spur development. 

These incomes enable families to afford health services, 

purchase food and clean water, develop domestic savings, 

receive primary and secondary educations, 

and reach new standards of living. 

Their stories inspire 

others to become 

empowered entrepreneurs. 

Imagine a world without them. 

THE ENTREPRENEUR SEES SETBACKS 

AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN AND GROW. 

8 

9

Endeavor has spent the last 11 years carefully 

searching for those unique individuals in 11 emerging 

economies. We have developed a portfolio of 333 

High-Impact Entrepreneurs representing 220 companies. 

If launched in Silicon Valley, 

these High-Impact Entrepreneurs 

would have been the buzz 

of the blogosphere. 

Instead, Endeavor’s High-Impact Entrepreneurs launched 

in emerging markets where they are often overlooked 

and face significant barriers to success. 

They encounter few role models, a lack of trust, 

a limited pool of management talent, an inability 

to access smart capital, and insufficient contacts. 

In order to achieve their potential, 

they need a tremendous amount of support. 

THE ENTREPRENEUR BELIEVES IN AN IDEA 

AND MAKES THE NECESSARY SACRIFICES TO FOLLOW IT THROUGH. 

10 

11

This is where Endeavor steps in. 

Endeavor tackles these challenges by providing 

access to the tools High-Impact Entrepreneurs need to scale: 

mentors, networks, connections, 

capital, a community of like-minded 

entrepreneurs and a healthy 

dose of inspiration. 

In time, these entrepreneurs who launched in 

Latin America, Egypt, India, Jordan, South Africa 

or Turkey are becoming role models, encouraging others 

to innovate and take risks. Today they are contributing 

to the sustainable growth of their economies. 

Tomorrow they will create the next 

Silicon Valleys at their doorstep. 

This is High-Impact 

Entrepreneurship. 

THE ART OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP IS 

THE ABILITY TO TURN VISION INTO REALITY.

WHY ENDEAVOR MATTERS 

“We need to recognize that only a 

select few entrepreneurs will create 

the businesses that will take people 

out of poverty, encourage innovation, 

create jobs, reduce unemployment, 

make markets more competitive, 

and enhance economic growth.” 

Scott Shane, 

The Illusions of Entrepreneurship,

THE ENTREPRENEURSHIP SPACE IN 

THE DEVELOPING WORLD 

Many organizations play a hand in supporting entrepreneurs, but 

Endeavor has a unique niche focusing on High-Impact Entrepreneurs. 

The Mexican government researched just how important the creation of 50 

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

that Endeavor supports—those looking to grow to over 500 employees — 

have a huge impact on GDP:

“ENTREPRENEURSHIP | SPREADING THE GOSPEL” 

AN EFFORT TO PROMOTE ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN THE 

DEVELOPING WORLD IS BEARING FRUIT 

“It is routine for entrepreneurs to consult their networks of mentors in Silicon 

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

—and so, too, are examples of Silicon Valley-style successful entrepreneurship. 

Changing this was why Endeavor was created in 1997.” 

“ENDEAVOR’S MAGIC WORKS MOST POWERFULLY IN ITS 

SELECTION PROCESS... The aim is to identify those who can succeed 

on a scale that will make them into national role models, and then provide 

them with every possible support. But the process is designed to benefit all 

entrants, by helping them define their visions more clearly.” 

“ENDEAVOR HAS “CREATED ISLANDS OF HOPE,” says [Endeavor 

Entrepreneur and Board Member Wences] Casares. Now it must find ways 

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

Endeavor’s global board, which recently adopted an ambitious plan to 

expand to 25 countries by 2015.” 

OMIDYAR NETWORK COMMITS $10 MILLION 

DOLLARS TO SUPPORT ENDEAVOR OPERATIONS 

In 2008, Endeavor received the single largest contribution in its history when 

Omidyar Network committed up to $10 million to support Endeavor’s operations 

worldwide. Omidyar Network’s support will enable Endeavor to expand rapidly 

into more emerging economies, select more High-Impact Entrepreneurs, provide 

stronger services for High-Impact Entrepreneurs, and share the inspiring stories 

of Endeavor Entrepreneurs with a larger audience. 

ENDEAVOR THANKS OMIDYAR NETWORK FOR ITS GENEROSITY 

AS WE EMBARK ON THIS DYNAMIC PARTNERSHIP. 

Four million dollars of Omidyar Network’s support are conditional matching 

funds. Therefore, every dollar that you invest in Endeavor will be doubled 

through Omidyar Network. Your support will have greater impact than 

ever before! 

“Endeavor’s innovative approach, potential for 

enormous scale, and ability to show tangible results 

make it a natural fit for the Omidyar Network portfolio, 

and we’re excited to work with them to expand their 

reach to 25 countries over the next several years.”

BEHIND THE NUMBERS THE POWER OF HIGH-IMPACT BUSINESS 

HIGH-IMPACT ENTREPRENEURS excel in a marketplace where 

their desire to start a business and the potential for more returns from 

self-employment exists. Endeavor Entrepreneurs have seen their 

incomes rise 113% since becoming entrepreneurs. 

ENDEAVOR ENTREPRENEURS take measures to differentiate 

themselves above the perception of corruption in their culture. An 

Endeavor Entrepreneur is 92% more likely to have external financial 

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

HIGH-IMPACT ENTREPRENEURS create the most jobs. 28 

Endeavor Companies employ more than 500 people in their 

local country. 

HIGH-IMPACT ENTREPRENEURS often have strong international 

appeal, indicating a business’ long term sustainability and 

growth potential. An Endeavor Entrepreneur is twice as likely to have 

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

ENDEAVOR ENTREPRENEURS innovate in markets and 

create new ones. They attract others into the industries, sparking 

growth. 62% of Endeavor Entrepreneurs had a competitor 

replicate his/her business practices. 

HIGH-IMPACT ENTREPRENEURS are more dedicated to 

innovation; Endeavor Entrepreneurs spend 20 times more on 

R&D than the average entrepreneur in the emerging markets. 

They are also 88% more likely to innovate in their market, 

based on use of new technology and patent registration. 

HIGH-IMPACT ENTREPRENEURS show commitment to the 

creation of an entrepreneurial ecosystem. Endeavor Entrepreneurs have 

invested over $10 million in new businesses as an Angel Investor or 

Venture Capitalist. In addition, 55% of Endeavor Entrepreneurs have 

been involved in the creation of another venture. 

ENDEAVOR changes the investment climate. 27 new Venture Capital 

funds have been launched by members of Endeavor’s network since 

those members joined Endeavor’s network. 

ENDEAVOR helps entrepreneurs achieve their high-impact potential. 

82% of Endeavor Entrepreneurs state that they would not have 

otherwise been able to meet their mentor without the Endeavor 

network. Endeavor Entrepreneurs also have accessed nearly 

$1 billion in funding subsequent to their selection by Endeavor.

BEFORE AND AFTER ENDEAVOR’S ENTRY: 10 YEARS ON 

“Endeavor is a fundamental pillar for the creation 

of entrepreneurship in Chile and the development 

of our country, generating jobs and new horizons 

thanks to those leaders who decide to follow the 

entrepreneurial path.” 

Alvaro Saieh, 

President, Corpgroup 

Endeavor Chile, Board Member 

Both Endeavor Chile and Endeavor Argentina turned 10 years old! Throughout the year, 

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

and, last but not least, a 10km race. 

Most importantly, each affiliate has taken impressive steps to create entrepreneurial 

ecosystems beyond the capital cities. Endeavor Chile launched operations in Patagonia 

and Endeavor Argentina opened a new office in Córdoba in the central region of the 

country. 

These regional offices not only will uncover tougher-to-find High-Impact Entrepreneurs, 

but also will collaborate with local businesses, academia, other NGOs, and the media to 

invest in and spread the word on entrepreneurship. 

Endeavor Chile has also pioneered the first communal office space for Endeavor staff, 

entrepreneurs, and VentureCorps, where entrepreneurs at all stages can come and 

work together. None of this could have happened in Argentina without Endeavor’s 

first two supporters in emerging markets, Eduardo Elsztain and Woods Staton. After 

ten years, Eduardo plans to turn the chairmanship of Endeavor Argentina over to an 

Endeavor Entrepreneur—a remarkable first for Endeavor and a dream come true 

for Eduardo. 

In Chile none of this could have happened without the support of Alvaro Saieh, Jose 

Luis del Rio, and Salvador Said, who resurrected Endeavor Chile after a perceived lack 

of business interest in supporting up-and-coming entrepreneurs. Now, Endeavor Chile 

has among the most prominent boards of directors of any institution in the country. 

Congratulations to both affiliates on ten incredible years!

CANDICE ROBERTS 

Here’s a snapshot from an International Selection Panel in Mexico City, April 2008: 

Candice Roberts found an innovative 

way to create employment at a new level 

in South Africa, a country scarred by a 

30–40% unemployment rate. CallForce 

Direct recruits and trains young South 

Africans for the call center industry in 

South Africa. Candice specifically looks 

to assist previously disadvantaged South 

Africans develop the skills they need for 

the 21st century economy. In doing so, 

she has created a sustainable business that 

is developing thousands of skilled laborers. 

Endeavor’s work with CallForce focuses 

on increasing its innovation in the market 

place. In the summer of 2007, an MBA 

student from Cornell helped develop a 

new agent retention strategy. The findings 

were so stellar that Candice is in the process 

of publishing a white paper for the 

community. In 2008, a second MBA 

student recruited by Endeavor conducted 

further research which Candice recently 

presented at the World Africa Contact 

Centre Conference!

Fernando Cammarota has moved from the 

fast lane to the safe lane! He started his 

career as a race car driver, but now runs 

CEPA, a company that specializes in driver 

training and accident prevention consulting. 

CEPA has quickly become the leader in its 

field, servicing roughly 30,000 vehicles and 

projecting an almost twenty-fold increase 

in this number by 2011. 

As his company grows, Fernando is 

genuinely committed to giving back to 

his community, delivering on his potential 

to become an inspiring entrepreneurial role 

model for his fellow Uruguayans. He has 

already provided pro-bono driving safety 

classes for the entire Endeavor community! 

Endeavor has paired Fernando with a 

VP of communications at Coca Cola, 

who is mentoring Fernando on internal 

communication and management.

Endeavor provides High-Impact Entrepreneurs with customized local and global 

services tailored to the needs of each entrepreneur. The services provide High- 

Impact Entrepreneurs with acccess to: 

STRATEGY 

Every Endeavor Entrepreneur receives a pro-bono “needs 

assessment” diagnosis with a leading international consultancy, 

such as BCG or McKinsey. 

MENTORSHIP 82% of Endeavor Entrepreneurs believe they would never have 

met their mentors without Endeavor’s introduction. 

Endeavor’s first Colombian entrepreneurs 

have come a long way since being selected 

in October 2006. Ideagro is revolutionizing 

the way a very traditional industry—cattle 

ranching— does business by manufacturing 

high-quality farm equipment in Colombia. 

In doing so, Ideagro is pioneering rural 

development and quality job creation in 

a country in need of new sectors. 

Since being selected Endeavor 

Entrepreneurs, Ideagro has tripled its 

revenues and doubled the size of its labor 

force. Critical to this growth has been the 

pairing of Mauricio and Arturo with Nicolas 

Duenas, a senior consultant at Azurian. 

With Nicolas’ support and mentorship, the 

entrepreneurs relocated their manufacturing 

facilities to a more cost-effective location 

and subsequently developed a more efficient 

production area. Now, they are focusing on 

restructuring their financial system.

undertake crucial three-month fellowships with entrepreneurs 

in Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay. Endeavor is in the top 2% of 

recruiters at Stanford and Harvard business schools. 

SINCE BEING SELECTED ENDEAVOR ENTREPRENEURS, 

IDEAGRO HAS TRIPLED ITS REVENUES AND DOUBLED 

THE SIZE OF ITS LABOR FORCE. 

NEW SKILLS 

Endeavor hosts local and international events focusing on 

entrepreneurial challenges, success, leadership, and growth. 


IVAN BARCHESE 

INSPIRATION 

Endeavor has introduced its entrepreneurs to business icons 

such as Ratan Tata, Jack Welch, and Michael Dell. 

“For mentors, supporting Endeavor Entrepreneurs 

changes how they look at the role of young enterprises 

in the larger economy. It is a win-win collaboration 

for all parties.” 

Mextra puts the “pop” in the soda can. 

Specifically, Mextra produces metallic 

alloys for aluminum products. Ivan 

Barchese, a metallurgical engineer, is the 

man behind Mextra. Endeavor selected 

Ivan in 2004, recognizing that he had the 

potential to become a key global company. 

To help him out, Endeavor introduced Ivan 

to Fausto Moreira, the former CEO of Alcoa 

Latin America, to serve as a “padrino” 

—a Godfather. As Ivan says, “I can tell 

him my ideas, we talk strategy, and he 

points out the risks. And the networking! 

Fausto has a lot of friends. In just three 

years, we’ve grown to $36 million and 

170 employees.” In 2007, Fast Company 

magazine featured Fausto’s mentorship of 

Ivan in their Social Capitalist Awards issue. 

“… FAUSTO HAS A LOT OF FRIENDS. IN JUST THREE YEARS, 

WE’VE GROWN TO $36 MILLION AND 170 EMPLOYEES.”

MEXICO’S “CONSULTIVO CONSEJO” PROGRAM 

CHILE’S ANNUAL RETREAT 

Endeavor Mexico builds a board of advisors for each of its High-Impact Entrepreneurs. 

This board, usually comprised of 3–5 VentureCorps members, a separate Endeavor 

Entrepreneur, and one Endeavor staff member, meets quarterly to provide strategic 

advice for entrepreneurs. Most Endeavor Entrepreneurs are not in a position to have 

a formal Board of Directors, but as their businesses expand, discussing key growth 

issues with an outside body of individuals is invaluable.

Chilim Balam

Mexico 

YEAR SELECTED 

2005 

Dan Schwarzblat founded Chilim Balam 

in 1995 when he was just 22 years old. 

Since then, he has changed the way 

Mexicans purchase their candy by putting 

candy stores in malls and offering over 500 

varieties of sweet Mexican delicacies. With 

Endeavor’s support, Chilim Balam has 

already doubled its number of employees 

and revenues and has opened stores in 

35 malls. 

As a young entrepreneur in a complicated 

industry, Dan needed some strong mentoring. 

Endeavor formed a non-acting board 

of directors that meets four times a year 

in person. The board includes a VP of 

Expansion from Starbucks International, 

an HR VP from Wrigley Mexico, and a 

partner at Advent Capital. Together, they 

have helped Dan set the ambitious goal 

of doubling the number of Chilim Balam 

stores in the next two years. They have 

not only provided expertise on expansion, 

human resources, and financing, but also 

given Dan the confidence to THINK BIG 

about his business. 

WITH ENDEAVOR’S SUPPORT, CHILIM BALAM HAS ALREADY 

DOUBLED ITS NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES AND REVENUES AND 

HAS OPENED STORES IN 35 MALLS. 

Every January, Endeavor Chile’s entrepreneurs, board members, and VentureCorps 

attend a three-day retreat, hosted by an Endeavor Chile Board Member. In addition to 

training seminars and team building exercises, each Endeavor Entrepreneur is treated 

like a candidate all over again. A team of Endeavor Chile board members grill and then 

offer constructive feedback to the entrepreneurs as they face new and different 

challenges than when they were initially selected. In this way, Endeavor’s services 

are matching the new demands of later-stage businesses.

FOSTERING A COMMUNITY OF ENTREPRENEURS 

In Brazil, Chile, and Turkey, groups of 6–7 Endeavor Entrepreneurs come together monthly 

to mentor each other. These peer-to-peer meetings enable all attendees to see their own 

businesses in fresh lights and prepare them for challenges they might not have foreseen. 

Endeavor Turkey held a Business Development Meeting for Endeavor’s Telcom 

Entrepreneurs. Three companies—PI Works, AirTies and Pozitron—came together for 

an afternoon and focused on identifying industry trends, improving international sales 

and sharing their international contacts. Endeavor’s support enables these entrepreneurs 

to trust one another, learn from each other, and feel part of a community. 

“Endeavor has been an integral player in helping 

me dream big and start executing on 

building my business to realize the potential. 

It has also been a key catalyst in much of my 

inspiration through having been exposed 

to really influential individuals.” 

ENDEAVOR IMMERSION TOURS 

Endeavor Immersion Tours enable Endeavor Entrepreneurs to meet a diverse group of 

top-flight entrepreneurs, academics and business executives. Endeavor Entrepreneurs 

have the chance to meet inspiring role models, learn about challenges successful 

entrepreneurs have faced and discuss their own challenges. Endeavor has held tours

Sharing the stories of High-Impact Entrepreneurs is a critical component 

to providing full support for High-Impact Entrepreneurs. In doing so, 

Endeavor promotes the importance of entrepreneurship in emerging

Endeavor’s case study is being taught around the world, including 

In 1979, Thai Quang Nghia left Vietnam 

as a refugee on a fishing boat. Miraculously, 

he was picked up by a Petrobrás oil tanker, 

which gave him asylum in Brazil. Over the 

next fifteen years, Thai came to embody the 

spirit of entrepreneurship as he started a 

variety of retail businesses. 

played an instrumental role in teaching

PATRICIO FUKS & ALEJANDRO FRENKEL 

Where others saw despair and risk in 

the Argentine economic crisis of 2001, 

visionary entrepreneur Patricio Fuks saw 

true opportunity. Capitalizing on his 

family’s background in the traditional 

hotel industry, Patricio moved quickly in 

the struggling Buenos Aires tourism market 

to consolidate three hotels within one year. 

Just five short years later, he and his partner 

Alejandro Frenkel are leading Grupo Fën 

—a hotel management company—through 

a red-hot expansion phase. Today Grupo 

Fën manages nine hotels which employ 

close to 300 people. 

Endeavor Argentina hosted a specialized 

2-day HR workshop for Grupo Fën, from 

which Patricio and Alejandro have received 

ongoing consulting from the VentureCorps. 

Passionate entrepreneurs with an endless

INFLUENCE 

BY SUPPORTING HIGH-IMPACT ENTREPRENEURS, ENDEAVOR 

CONTRIBUTES TO THE LARGER GOAL OF TRANSFORMING 

ENTREPRENEURIAL ECOSYSTEMS IN EMERGING ECONOMIES. 

Emerging markets can create sophisticated, competitive capital markets. 

This is dependent not just on supporting High-Impact entrepreneurs, 

but also on several other key change agents: the government, 

universities, the investment community, and the media. Endeavor 

works closely with many of these institutions and is changing the 

way business is done in these economies. 

INVESTORS 

Endeavor has helped its entrepreneurs secure nearly $1 billion in capital and 

can count over 1000 potential investors in its network. 

ENDEAVOR’S LOCAL NETWORK HAS LAUNCHED 27 

INSTITUTIONAL VENTURE CAPITAL FIRMS IN ECONOMIES 

THAT TRADITIONALLY NEVER HAD VC MONEY. 

GOVERNMENTS AND CAPITAL MARKETS 

Governments determine the policies and regulations that create the enabling environment 

for entrepreneurship. Endeavor Entrepreneurs are role models whose strong examples 

of success have led governments to approach Endeavor for policy-related advice. 

In 2007, Endeavor Uruguay was invited to join the Executive Committee of National 

Agency for Investigation and Innovation—a government taskforce that aims to develop 

programs that will promote and invest in scientific innovation. The program will invest 

in both greater R&D and in entrepreneurs directly. 

In 2007, Endeavor Chile was invited to join a task force on competitiveness, growth, 

employment, and equality. Endeavor Chile specifically proposed a $60 million program 

that focuses on engaging youth in entrepreneurship that is currently being processed. 

In 2004, President Vicente Fox’s government approached Endeavor about creating 

conditions to foster entrepreneurship. Endeavor Mexico worked with Nacional Financiera, 

S.N.C. Development Banking Institution—a branch of the Mexican government—to 

develop the first government-funded business angel fund.

UNIVERSITIES 

Universities play a critical role in promoting entrepreneurship. All Endeavor affiliates have 

close connections to universities—two Endeavor offices are situated on a university campus. 

Endeavor has worked with professors to develop curriculum about entrepreneurship. 

173 CASE STUDIES HAVE BEEN WRITTEN ABOUT 

ENDEAVOR ENTREPRENEURS.

ENDEAVOR MEXICO’S REGIONAL EXPANSION 

In 2008, Endeavor Mexico launched an aggressive strategy to increase its presence 

across the nation. Endeavor has partnered with universities and the top business leaders 

in the states of Puebla, Guanajuato, Baja California, Chiapas, Aguascalientes, Jalisco 

and Nuevo León to launch a franchise office in each place. Endeavor is creating 

“mini-Endeavors” by selecting young entrepreneurs—some of whom may become 

full fledged Endeavor Entrepreneurs—and then providing them with a network of 

local business leaders and consulting services. 

MEDIA 

The media plays a hugely important role in legitimizing the work of High- 

Impact Entrepreneurs. This is especially critical in cultures that do not celebrate 

the success of entrepreneurs. 

IN 2007–8, ENDEAVOR ENTREPRENEURS HAD OVER 8000 

HITS IN THE MEDIA! 

INSPIRING NEW ENTREPRENEURS 

Endeavor is a proud partner of Global Entrepreneurship Week from November 17–23, 

2008. Global Entrepreneurship Week is designed to unleash the power of entrepreneurship 

all over the world. In 2007, Entrepreneurship Week USA and Enterprise Week UK involved 

nearly a million individuals. This year, as the initiative goes global, that number will 

be vastly exceeded. 

THROUGH GLOBAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP WEEK, ENDEAVOR 

BRAZIL ALONE PLANS TO REACH 1 MILLION PEOPLE DIRECTLY 

AND 100 MILLION PEOPLE THROUGH ITS MEDIA PARTNERSHIPS 

WITH BRAZIL’S FOUR TOP TV STATIONS! 

Every Endeavor affiliate plans to host conferences, roundtables, business plan competitions, 

innovation challenges, and networking events geared towards young, aspiring entrepreneurs. 

As of July 2008, Endeavor had partnered with over 300 local organizations to unleash the 

spirit of entrepreneurship. Please reach out to outreach@endeavor.org to get involved! 

In Turkey, Endeavor has formed partnerships with Doğan Media Group, a leading 

media company that owns several magazines, to promote Endeavor’s work. Hürriyet, 

which is owned by Endeavor Board Member Vuslat Dogan Sabancı, runs regular features 

on Endeavor Entrepreneurs. Referans Newspaper hosts an annual “Fast Fish” award for 

companies that have demonstrated successful rapid growth and provides Endeavor with 

the most promising companies to enter Endeavor’s Search & Selection process. 

SHARING BEST BUSINESS PRACTICES 

Endeavor Argentina’s entrepreneurs are changing the way that business is conducted. 

Endeavor and the American Express Foundation are implementing the first ever CSRentrepreneur 

program in Argentina. The program aims to identify and support entrepreneurs 

that want to integrate an economic and social impact into the visions of their companies 

and into their leadership. Endeavor Entrepreneurs representing the tech, energy, logistics, 

and consumer goods sectors are learning about and incorporating CSR into their operations.

REINVEST 

It is Endeavor’s mission ultimately to become “of, by, and for” entrepreneurs. 

When Endeavor was young, give-back from the entrepreneurs included 

speaking on Endeavor’s behalf, attending selection panels, and mentoring 

other Endeavor Entrepreneurs. Since then, local Endeavor Entrepreneurs 

have created financially sustainable models to support the next generation 

of High-Impact Entrepreneurs and propagate the social importance of 

Endeavor’s work. 

ENDEAVOR BRAZIL: 

2% EQUITY REINVESTMENT + $300 MONTHLY FEES 

Within 12 months of being selected, Endeavor Entrepreneurs agree to donate 2% equity 

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

event of liquidity. 100% of Endeavor Brazil Entrepreneurs are participating in this give-back 

program. Combined with a fundraising gala, Endeavor Brazil will be fully sustainable by 

2010 —10 years after its launch. 

The collective value of Endeavor companies in Brazil at the end of 2007 was approximately 

$1.37BB, a 35% growth rate from 2006. Endeavor Brazil is building a formal endowment 

to collect the future liquidity of donated equity currently valued around $20MM. 

Endeavor Brazil’s Luiz Chicani was the first High-Impact Entrepreneur to donate 

liquidated equity to Endeavor. 

The reinvestment is spreading to other affiliates. In 2008, Nutra Bien was 

sold to a major Chilean food producer and distributor. As part of that sale, 

founders Patricio and Isabella made the first equity donation to Endeavor 

Chile by Endeavor Entrepreneurs. 

“Before Endeavor I felt like I was traveling on a gravel 

road. Since we met Endeavor, I suddenly see a ten-lane 

highway in front of me.” 

Patricio Jaras, 

Nutra Bien 

CASE STUDY: 

WENCES CASARES & THE VIRTUOUS CYCLE OF ENDEAVOR 

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

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

by more than 30 local investors when Endeavor selected him. 

Endeavor helped Wences raise $4 million in equity financing. Two years later, he sold the 

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

a quarter of a million dollars (plus options in a new company) to Endeavor and joined 

Endeavor Global’s Board of Directors. 

This unstoppable entrepreneur has launched several new companies: Lemon Bank, a 

Brazilian-based bank for the poor; Wanako Games; Classified Media Group; MECK, 

an investment fund; and BlingNation, an open alternative payment network. 

Now, Wences has become a sought-after angel investor. He has financed Endeavor 

Entrepreneurs, including Needish.com, a Chilean start-up that Endeavor selected 

in April 2008. 

Perhaps most significantly, Wences has become an iconic role model: 

“IF WENCES CAN DO IT, I CAN DO IT TOO!” HAS 

BECOME AN OFTEN-HEARD RALLYING CRY IN 

THE SOUTHERN CONE.”

SHELDON COHEN 

A great mentor to young entrepreneurs 

COUNTRY BOARDS OF DIRECTORS 

On January 28th, 2008 Endeavor South Africa’s 

VentureCorps member Sheldon Cohen was sadly and 

unfairly taken from us. He had just served as a selection 

panelist at the 4th International Selection Panel (ISP) 

in South Africa. 

Sheldon will always be remembered as one of South 

Africa’s greatest mentors of young entrepreneurs.
