Its unique investment model focuses exclusively on companies led by Endeavor Entrepreneurs who have successfully raised qualifying equity rounds of $5 million or more from institutional investors. This strategic alignment ensures that Endeavor Catalyst backs ventures that have already undergone rigorous vetting by both the extensive Endeavor network and external, reputable institutional capital.

Since its inception, Endeavor Catalyst has demonstrated significant growth and impact within the global entrepreneurial ecosystem.

This strategy has allowed them to build a diverse portfolio spanning over 40 markets and including more than 300 companies. The fund boasts an impressive track record, with over 50 of its portfolio companies achieving unicorn status, including notable names like Rappi, Kavak, and Checkout.com, highlighting their effectiveness in identifying and scaling high-potential ventures within the Endeavor ecosystem.
