When economies turn down, entrepreneurs turn up.
a year ago, when we launched Endeavor’s
office in Athens, Andrew Ross Sorkin
interviewed me on CNBC. His first
question? “Why in God’s name, if you
were going to start doing business
in Europe, would you start by doing
business in Greece?” Andrew had
a point: It was September of 2012, and
the Greek economy was on the verge
of a spectacular meltdown.
But when economies turn down,
entrepreneurs turn up. Over the past
year, our offices in Greece and elsewhere
have weathered all manner of political
and economic upheaval: A downturn
in Brazil, protests in Turkey, regime
change in Egypt, and a debt crisis in the
Eurozone. Through it all, Endeavor affili-
ates have remained steadfast in their
mission to support innovators with the
potential to lift economies.
The entrepreneurs we support col-
lectively generate $6 billion in annual
revenues and employ 225,000 people.
In Egypt, Dr. Amina Hassab is heading
one of the fastest-growing medical labs
in the country. She employs over 150
people—half of whom are women. In
Greece, sisters Maria and Penny Vlachou
are breathing new life into the snail-
processing business. Fereikos-Helix,
their company, provides work for some
200 snail farmers. And in Brazil, Bento
Koike’s wind blade company, Tecsis, cre-
ated a whopping 4,000 jobs last year to
reach a total of 7,000.
We’ve also spent the past twelve
months rethinking our model in the
1
context of today’s realities. We realized
that opportunities for—and obstacles
to—entrepreneurship can be found
everywhere. With this in mind, we’ve
kept up our robust presence in emerging
and growth economies, launching
affiliates in Malaysia, Morocco, and
the United Arab Emirates, but we’ve also
sought to expand our network into
developed markets, starting with an
affiliate in Miami.
Previous generations had politi-
cians and bureaucrats, corporate men
and financiers. Ours has entrepreneurs:
Creative men and women with the heart
to effect change. Their drive is the best
remedy to today’s stagnant economy;
their agility, the best solution to today’s
uncertain climate.
We’re in the midst of an entrepreneur-
ial revolution. The entrepreneurs are
turning up. Are you?

ENDEAVOR IMPACT REPORT 2012 – 2013
Scale up companies are today’s Job creators
It haS BecoMe fashionable to associate the
word “entrepreneurship” with “start-up.”
The media celebrates stories of 19-year-
olds launching companies from their col-
lege dorms and Brooklyn moms building
national businesses on eBay. Yet while
Mark Zuckerberg did grow Facebook
from his Harvard dorm room into a pub-
licly traded company, one third of start-
ups fail within two years, never creating
the amount of jobs and revenue that can
significantly impact an economy.
Endeavor believes that the real
heroes are the small subset of entrepre-
neurs who move their companies from
start-ups to scale ups, small- to medium-
sized businesses that record 20% or
more average annual growth over a
three-year period. Endeavor Insight—the
organization’s research arm, launched
with seed funding from the Omidyar
Network—conducted studies based
on World Bank surveys in a number of
emerging markets. The data shows that
while scale ups represent just six to
twenty percent of businesses, they
contribute the lion’s share of net new
jobs, anywhere from 25 to 91%!
By finding and supporting these
high-impact entrepreneurs, Endeavor
hopes they will create even more
jobs and generate even more revenue.
The organization’s track record is strong:
In markets as diverse as Brazil, Mexico,
South Africa, and Turkey, Endeavor
companies create two to twenty times
more jobs than comparable companies.
Unless otherwise noted, all revenue figures in this report are in U.S. dollars.

SerIal entrepreneur, DJ, and brand-
ing genius, Anton Wirjono was run-
ning a Jakarta-based events agency
when a new opportunity crystallized:
Indonesia’s creative class—everyone
from young designers to eager urban
consumers—was booming, and the
demand for hip products was oustrip-
ping supply.
Anton decided to meet demand
and launched the goods group,
a department store that aspires to be
the “universal provider of everything
cool.” Offering a highly curated shop-
ping experience, The Goods Group sells
mid-to-upscale apparel, accessories,
and shoes. Its in-store café serves items
like “coffee-rubbed burgers.” Since the
first location opened its doors in 2010,
two more have followed, collectively
Panelists interview Endeavor Entrepreneur candidate Anton Wirjono during Interview Day at the 49th International Selection Panel in Johannesburg, South Africa.

employing over 300 people.
By early 2013, Anton was leading a
high-growth scale up company. He had
ambitious plans to reach 17 stores and
1,500 employees by 2015. But to do so,
he knew he’d need to overcome signifi-
cant challenges. To finance expansion,
for example, Anton needs to access
smart capital. And to be able to focus
on his strengths—business development
and branding—he has to hire senior man-
agement with operational expertise. But
both fundraising and finding top talent
in Jakarta are challenging. So when
Sati Rasuanto, the Managing Director of
Endeavor Indonesia, spoke to him about
Endeavor, Anton’s interest piqued, and
he agreed to join the candidate pipeline.
Over the following months, members
of Endeavor’s network reviewed both

Endeavor’s selection criteria, including
the entrepreneur’s leadership potential
and his ability to think BIG.
Having passed through first- and
second-opinion reviews, Anton attended
a Local Selection Panel in Jakarta,
where Endeavor Indonesia Board
Members cleared Anton for presenta-
tion at an International Selection Panel.
Finally, Sati and her team prepped Anton
for the“ISP,” at which six global business
leaders would interview Anton about
his business, and then deliberate and
vote on whether or not he has the high-
impact potential necessary to become
an Endeavor Entrepreneur.
Joining Anton at the 49th
International Selection Panel in
Johannesburg, South Africa, were candi-
dates representing a range of countries
and industries. There were three men
from Egypt running a round-the-clock
healthcare services company in Cairo.
There were two sisters from Greece
leveraging relationships with 200 snail
farmers to sell snails and snail products
to wholesalers throughout Europe. And
there was an entrepreneur whose com-
pany provides catering services to major
corporations in Mexico.

The following afternoon, panelists
came together to discuss Anton and

unanimously to select Anton as an

The thobe, a traditional robe-like garment worn by Arab men for centuries, is coming into the modern era thanks to Lomar, a Saudi fashion house led by designer Loai Naseem. Fed up with the shapeless, uniform cloth he was required to wear for business and social occasions, Loai decided to apply his eye for design to create more comfortable and trendy options for Arab men. Lomar has overcome resistance from those who did not believe in modernizing the thobe and has established its position as a leading men’s traditional luxury brand since opening its first showroom in 2005. The company sells 50,000 thobes per year, with 380 employees and a large production facility. Lomar can use this leading position to take advantage of rapid growth in Saudi luxury goods, an important segment of the Middle East’s largest market.

poSt-SelectIon, entrepreneurs like Anton
enter the next chapter in their Endeavor
journey. During their initial months
as official Endeavor Entrepreneurs,
they receive customized service plans
designed to help them tackle short-
and long-term challenges. They work
with their Endeavor account manager
to set up advisory boards that meet
quarterly and are populated by the
organization’s mentors and industry
experts. And they begin to participate as
formal members of their local Endeavor
network of board members, mentors,
and fellow entrepreneurs.
Down the line, Endeavor
Entrepreneurs can attend events
like a biennial networking Summit
in San Francisco (see pages 38–42 for
highlights from the 2013 Summit)
or industry-specific immersion tours.
Entrepreneurs looking for advice on

Scaling up endeavor’s high-Impact entrepreneurs
with EY. Founders needing consulting
support on topics like international
expansion or marketing strategy can
recruit an “eMBA student.” Through
Endeavor’s partnership with Barclays,
over 400 eMBAs from top schools
have spent their summers at Endeavor
companies.
In 2013, Endeavor marked its 80th
engagement with the MIT Global
Entrepreneurship Lab program, which
matches teams of four second-year MBA
students with Endeavor Entrepreneurs
for part-time work during the fall semes-
ter and full-time on-site work for the
month of January.
Andrés Angulo, for example,
challenged an MIT “G-Lab” team
to research international expansion
targets in Latin America for his
company, campoalto, which runs voca-
tional health training schools through-
out Bogotá, Colombia. By offering a
pay-as-you-go plan and flexible class
schedules, Campoalto has graduated
over 20,000 alumni, primarily from low-
income communities. Andrés’s G-Lab

team suggested that he consider
launching in Miami, where the combina-
tion of a need for healthcare profession-
als and a large immigrant population
provided fertile ground for Campoalto
schools. Andrés decided to take the
team’s advice. His company will launch
its first school in Miami by year-end 2013.
Following another suggestion from the
G-Lab team, Campoalto’s Miami campus
will pair healthcare training with English
proficiency classes because the United
States government requires that most
board certification classes be taught
in English.
Endeavor’s range of support services
seeks to connect entrepreneurs to
a network of executives and subject
matter experts who can help them navi-
gate problems and seize opportunities.
a 2013 endeavor Insight study showed that
65% of the founders of the fastest-growing
endeavor companies reported that the best
business advice they had ever received
came from an endeavor mentor.
Arturo Galvan of naranya, for exam-
ple, was advised by an Endeavor mentor
that his company’s focus on providing
mobile services for basic phones
was too narrow. To stay relevant, the
mentor warned, Naranya would need
to eventually branch into smartphone
offerings. As a result, Arturo began
investing aggressively in R&D, launch-
ing an Innovation Unit of 20 engineers
as well as a start-up accelerator and
early stage fund. From 2011 to 2012, the
Mexican company grew revenues by
36% and jobs by 18%.
pozitron, a Turkish mobile B2B
company, reported that at the 2007
Summit, a mentor told them to “never
delegate negotiation.” The founders
implemented the advice by continuing
to participate in contract negotiations
with major clients, which led them to
develop and strengthen long-term,
sustainable partnerships. Between 2011
and 2012, the company reported 77%
growth in revenues and 70% growth
in jobs.

pozItron’S Story is emblematic of a
trend repeatedly observed in Endeavor
companies post-selection: a strong
correlation between revenue growth and
job creation. While this may seem like
an obvious parallel, in reality, compa-
nies reporting high revenue growth
don’t always invest in new hires. When
broken down by affiliate, there were nine
cases in which, from 2010 to 2012, the
company with the top absolute growth
in revenues also recorded the highest
absolute growth in job creation. These
nine companies—headquartered in
Brazil, Colombia, Egypt, Greece, Jordan,
Lebanon, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, and
Turkey—represent a variety of industries,
including tourism, mobile payments,
and IT services.
Let’s take a closer look at four.
While attending Brazil’s Institute for
Aerospace Technology in the mid-70s,
Bento Koike built a wind turbine for a
class. Roughly 20 years later, Bento
revisited this experience and launched
tecsis, a manufacturer of custom turbine
blades for the wind energy industry.
Today, Tecsis is at the forefront of
cleantech, with 40,000 blades in opera-
tion worldwide. The company estimates
that it manufactured about 50% of
all custom blades operating in North
America. In 2012, Tecsis had the highest
revenue of any Endeavor company. From
2010 to 2012, Tecsis also recorded the
highest absolute growth in revenues and
the highest absolute growth in jobs.
lomar—the first company selected
from Saudi Arabia—manufactures and
sells modernized thobes, a traditional
robe-like garment that has been worn
by Arab men for centuries. Lomar’s
founder, Loai Naseem, was the Creative
Director of a Saudi ad agency when,
frustrated by the limited thobe options
on the market, he designed his own.
Loai’s thobes received so many compli-
ments that he began to accept orders
from friends and colleagues. A year later,
Loai formally launched Lomar. Today,
men can purchase thobes at 11 show-
rooms throughout Saudi Arabia and via
the company’s online site. Loai also has
plans to expand Lomar internationally.

ENDEAVOR IMPACT REPORT 2012 – 2013
From 2010 to 2012, Lomar’s revenues
increased by $5 million, and the
company added 90 employees to
its workforce.
While studying industrial engineer-
ing at university, Carlos Londoño sold
his first tour package to high school
seniors in Bogotá, Colombia. His current
venture, travel & Vacation group,
continues Carlos’s passion for getting
people to travel. Equal parts travel
agency and hotel chain, TVG’s main
product is an “all-inclusive” travel pack-
age to the island of San Andrés that
includes flight, hotel, food, beverages,
and other benefits. Salesmen go door-
to-door to sell these packages, offer-
ing monthly installment plans in order
to make the vacations affordable for
low- to-middle-income families. Against
the backdrop of a booming Colombian
economy, the company’s revenue has
tripled over the past two years—to $88
million—and TVG added 1,700+ jobs.
Across the Atlantic, Baydöner,
a chain of fast-casual restaurants, led
Endeavor Turkey’s roster in terms of job
and revenue growth. Having grown
up in families where dining out was
not an option, founders Levent Yılmaz
and Feridun Tunçer decided to open
restaurants in middle-class malls and
shopping centers. And by serving just six
dishes—iskender döner (a plate of thinly
cut grilled meat served with tomato
sauce and yogurt on pita bread), four
side options, and künefe (a traditional
Turkish dessert)—Baydöner restaurants
can guarantee high standards and
service quality while keeping prices low.
The concept has been a hit. Today,
Baydöner operates 70 restaurants—
including 17 franchises—across 34 cities
in Turkey. From 2010 to 2012, Baydöner
added $32 million in revenues and
370 jobs.

Since the launch of the first Baydöner location in 2007, the company has expanded to operate 70 restaurants, including 17 franchises, across 34 cities in Turkey.

any coMpany can create jobs, but the
best ones build careers. Endeavor is
committed to helping its entrepre-
neurs succeed on both fronts: endeavor
entrepreneurs create jobs 5.4x faster than
peer entrepreneurs in their respective
countries, and they do so while guarantee-
ing high levels of employee satisfaction.
In 2010, Endeavor Insight surveyed
the employees of Endeavor South Africa
companies. The data showed that not
only were Endeavor companies paying
significantly above minimum wage—
with a great trickle-down effect on fami-
lies—but also that employees received
a range of benefits from working for
an entrepreneurial company. These
benefits included higher job satisfaction,
better training opportunities, and a
sense that they were advancing faster
than peers.
Over the past three years, Endeavor’s
research team has completed addi-
tional surveys of over 2,000 Endeavor
company employees in six countries:
Argentina (2011), Brazil (2011), Egypt
(2012), Jordan (2012), Turkey (2011), and
Uruguay (2011). The results reveal some
interesting global patterns emerging
from the workforce effects of rapidly

Globant, the first Endeavor Entrepreneur company to receive Catalyst funding, is Latin America’s leading software outsourcing firm. Just one year after Catalyst’s pioneering investment in Globant, WPP acquired a 20% stake in the company, resulting in a partial exit of Catalyst’s
invested capital. As of January 2013, Catalyst’s ROI multiple for the Globant partial exit is 1.97x. This exciting number is proof of the power of the Catalyst model to generate significant returns—and to propel the growth of both Endeavor and the high-impact companies it serves.

have an outsized influence on the
growth of their entrepreneurial ecosys-
tem—what Endeavor calls “The Multiplier
Effect.” The hope is that the combined
efforts of a community of high-impact
entrepreneurs will help to develop flour-
ishing ecosystems akin to what is seen in
places like Silicon Valley.
Case in point: In July 2013–16 years
after the launch of Endeavor’s first
office in Buenos Aires—Argentine think-
tank Prodem released the results of a
study, in which it asked 1,000 Argentine
entrepreneurs to name their entrepre-
neurial role models. four of the top-ten
most-named role models were endeavor
argentina entrepreneurs.
Coming in second on the Prodem
list (sandwiched between Steve Jobs,
who came in first, and Bill Gates,
who came in third) was Andy Freire.
In 1998, Andy and Santiago Bilinkis,
his business partner and another name
on the Prodem list, were chosen at the
organization’s first selection panel.
The two P&G alums had left the
corporate world to found officenet,
a warehouse-style retailer of office
supplies. With Endeavor’s help, Andy
and Santiago reworked their owner-
ship structure and expanded to Brazil.
Endeavor also secured them a meeting
with the CEO of Staples, who would
buy Officenet in 2005.
The following year, Endeavor
selected Marcos Galperín—number five
on the Prodem list—and Hernán Kazah,
two Stanford Business School grads
who had adapted eBay’s model to Latin
America by founding Mercadolibre.
Marcos and Hernán brokered a deal
with eBay, which acquired a stake in
their company. Today, MercadoLibre is
the leading online marketplace in Latin
America, with a Nasdaq listing, a market

When 1,000 Argentine entrepreneurs were asked to name their entrepreneurial role models, Endeavor Argentina Entrepreneur Andy Freire was the second-most-frequently cited person, after Steve Jobs and ahead of Bill Gates.

The final Endeavor Entrepreneur
to reach the “top ten” of the Prodem list
was Wences Casares. When Endeavor
selected Wences in 1998, he was a
23-year-old college dropout who had
started an online brokerage platform,
patagon.com. Endeavor organized a
roadshow for Wences that resulted in
a $4 million fund raise. Two years later,
Wences sold Patagon.com to Banco
Santander for over $750 million.
But these entrepreneurs’ stories
didn’t end when they exited their
companies. All but Galperín have since
left to start new ventures. Much as
they had received counsel from others,
the entrepreneurs began “paying it
forward.” Each entrepreneur started
investing in an array of technology start-
ups and devoted time to mentoring their
founders.
As their success fanned out, an
interesting pattern emerged—a few
highly influential entrepreneurs played a
major role in developing a thriving local
technology sector. By 2012, Buenos Aires
was home to offices of Google, eBay,
Facebook, and Yahoo!. The tech sector
had created more than 30,000 jobs
and $1.7 billion in revenue in Argentina,
representing almost half a percent of the
country’s gross domestic product.
The unexpected success of the
Argentine ecosystem led Endeavor

Insight to conduct a series of studies
on these tech markets, beginning
with Buenos Aires’s tech hub in 2011.
Insight surveyed 200 Argentine tech
entrepreneurs and asked them
five questions: 1) Who inspired you?
2) Where did you work previously?
3) Who invested in your company?
4) Who mentored you? 5) Have you
founded any additional companies?
What emerged was a map of the
network showing a dense web of
interconnections among a fast-growing
group of tech start-ups. At its center
were a handful of high-impact entrepre-
neurs whose influence radiated
out in all directions: Patagon’s Wences,
Officenet’s Andy and Santiago, and
MercadoLibre’s Marcos and Hernán.
The data showed that these initial
entrepreneurs had an impact on 80%
of the network through hands-on activi-
ties like mentoring and investing.
The entrepreneurs’ impact on the
ecosystem continues to this day. Andy
currently serves as the board chair of
Endeavor Argentina. His Officenet co-
founder, Santiago, runs an innovative
social venture fund. Marcos continues to
lead MercadoLibre and recently donated
over $1 million to Endeavor Argentina
so that the organization can purchase
a headquarters building. Marcos’s co-
founder, Hernán, has launched a venture
capital firm that has invested in over 15
companies in Latin America. Wences,
meanwhile, is based in Palo Alto, where
he serves on the board of Endeavor and
has become a godfather to hundreds of
young Latin American entrepreneurs,
providing inspiration and thousands of
hours of mentoring.
To validate the repeatability of this
multiplier effect, Endeavor conducted
similar research in two more unlikely
hotbeds of entrepreneurial activity:
Amman, Jordan and Istanbul, Turkey.
The results exhibited the same pattern:
Local networks developed around a
small number of high-impact entrepre-
neurs. By paying it forward—mentoring
protegees, helping start new businesses,
and acting as angel investors—these
entrepreneurs had a strong, outsized
effect on the ecosystem.

ENDEAvOR LAUNCHED its first-ever U.S. affiliate
in Miami in August 2013. A city of immigrants,
with close ties to Latin America, Miami has a
promising basis for entrepreneurship but suffers
from high unemployment (roughly 2% higher
than the national average) and an exodus of
talent to entrepreneurial hotbeds like Silicon
Valley and New York. The Endeavor Miami Board
of Directors, with strong support from the Knight
Foundation, believes that identifying and
supporting a small group of high-impact
entrepreneurs and helping them to scale their
businesses will have an outsized impact on
Miami’s future economic development. Endeavor
is energized by the potential of Miami as a
U.S. affiliate and hopes that Miami will be the first
of many U.S. cities to benefit from its model.

Asian affiliate in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Recognized as one of the strongest economies in
the region, Malaysia is ranked 1st in the world for
access to credit and 12th for ease of doing busi-
ness, according to the World Bank. While Malaysia
has successfully transformed from a low- to
middle-income country, its economy is squeezed
by its neighbors, with low-wage economies on one
hand and more innovative advanced econo-
mies on the other. And with one of the smallest
populations in the region (27 million), Malaysian
entrepreneurs must look outside their country for
significant growth opportunities. Enter Endeavor:
Operating in 19 countries around the world and
growing, Endeavor will provide Malaysian
entrepreneurs with the support they need to scale
their businesses, thereby helping the country
find its way out of the middle-income trap.

IN JUNE 2013, the United Arab Emirates became
the location of Endeavor’s 7th affiliate in the
Middle East. As a leading regional business
hub with a diverse population, the UAE offers
an outstanding platform for high-impact
entrepreneurs to achieve regional and global
scale across a range of industries. Endeavor UAE
also represents a deepening of the organization’s
presence across the Middle East and North Africa
to address the challenge — and opportunity —
of creating the tens of millions of jobs needed to
realize the potential of young people who face
limited prospects. Endeavor now has affiliates
stretching across the region from Morocco to
Turkey, providing a network as extensive as that of
Endeavor in Latin America and offering unrivaled
support for high-impact entrepreneurs.
UNITED ARABEMIRATES
MOROCCOwITH SUPPORT FROM a local board of business
leaders chaired by Moulay Hafid Elalamy,
President of SAHAM Group, as well as grants
from the USAID-MEC program and the Citi
Foundation, Endeavor launched its 6th MENA
affiliate, and first in the Maghreb region, in
Casablanca, Morocco. Although there is a
growing sense of excitement around entrepre-
neurship in Morocco and no shortage of talent,
aspiring entrepreneurs have relatively few
homegrown role models to emulate and also
face limited access to mentoring opportunities
and smart capital. Furthermore, with 49%
of Morocco’s youth population neither in school
nor in the workforce, the country is in dire
need of more and more valuable jobs.
By capitalizing on Endeavor’s strong regional
network and 15+ years of proven success,
Endeavor Morocco can unleash the power
of entrepreneurship in Morocco.

“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 the 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 anti-poverty program of all.”
