International networks hold untapped potential. If Türkiye activated the willing founders in their international network, it would increase the number of investors by 10x and mentors by nearly 2x. These founders are already supporting the ecosystem in a big way through the #MultiplierEffect. And they have the capacity to support the local ecosystem even more. Now is the time to organize the network and help them pay it forward. 🚀 Leah D. Barto, Endeavor’s Senior Director of Research, shares 5 key findings from our recent report on supporting Türkiye’s entrepreneurial ecosystem.

"To be a great leader, you have to become a great person." At our Outliers Retreat, in California, 60+ of our fastest-growing founders met with Reed Hastings, co-founder of Netflix. This candid and intimate conversation reminded us that: 💫 Being a great leader is about self-reflection, self-criticism, and self-awareness. ✍️ Asking how you can be better is a source of growth. For example, have your top executives list three changes they would make if they were CEO. 🧑🌾 Farming for dissent helps deepen you as a person and leader. 💬 Through practice you can hear strong critiques and say, 'Tell me more,' instead of reacting defensively. These are just a few ideas captured during this talk, encapsulating the wisdom, reflection, and candid conversations we shared over three days. We hope our Outliers went back home inspired, recharged, and energized to keep building. #EndeavorOutliers #entrepreneurship #highimpact

Picture 60+ founders discussing unspoken challenges in the Redwoods of California. Our Outliers Retreat was just that—three days of intimate conversations among our fastest-growing entrepreneurs. They gathered to share their stories on building successful companies, but also their vulnerabilities, mistakes, and everything they can’t share with anyone else. A heartfelt thank you to Reed Hastings, from Netflix, Guillaume Pousaz, from Checkout.com, and Jason Wenk, from Altruist, for openly sharing your journeys. To all Endeavor Outliers, we’ll see you in Portugal next year! #DreamBigger #ScaleFaster #PayItForward #EndeavorOutliers

318 companies invested in across 30+ countries. After a decade, Endeavor Catalyst has a unique vantage point on the market. Yesterday, 150+ Endeavor Catalyst LPs and Investees from 25+ countries gathered in San Francisco to share insights and trends that will shape the future of VC. Allen Taylor and Jackie Carmel opened the meeting with an overview of these trends through the lens of Endeavor Catalyst with updates from each of our regional leads across the globe. Here are a few takeaways from the afternoon’s fireside chats: 🌱 An overnight success story is usually about 10 years in the making. To date, 31 companies in our portfolio have gone public or been acquired, taking 11 years on average since their founding. 🤝 Shifting power dynamics have influenced the types of deals getting done. We are seeing strong companies raising at higher valuations, more inside-led rounds and extensions, and venture debt remaining a viable financing option. 🤖 We are living in the AI era. Companies across our markets and industries are leveraging AI and reaching a more global audience in unexpected ways. Thank you to Reid Hoffman, Meyer "Micky" Malka, Veronica Allende Serra, Victor Lazarte, Pilar Manchón, Karim Beguir, Joanna Rees, Adrian Garcia-Aranyos, and Linda Rottenberg for sharing your insights throughout the afternoon. And thank you to everyone who participated in making yesterday so impactful! #VentureCapital #AI #Innovation #EndeavorCatalyst

The future of VC is global. And the 2024 Midas list reflects this shift. Nearly 30% of the top VCs on the Midas list this year are based outside the US, highlighting the growing influence of international markets. Earlier this month, Allen Taylor, Managing Partner of Endeavor Catalyst, discussed the "Global State of Venture Capital" with the latest Kauffman Fellows class and shared some compelling insights from Endeavor Catalyst. Of the 1,300+ unicorns in the world today, 25% of them are in the markets where we operate: in Latin America, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and the rest of Asia beyond China and India. The decentralization of capital is accelerating, and it's exciting to envision a future where the majority of top VCs and groundbreaking deals come from all corners of the globe.
