Endeavor’s mission to expand and support the high-impact entrepreneurship movement has brought our organization to diverse cities of promise around the world. A focus in underdeveloped entrepreneurial ecosystems with great potential for growth and a successful entrepreneurial environment has led Endeavor to strategically expand into the United States.
In September of 2013, Endeavor Miami was established, making it the first affiliate of Endeavor in the United States. This office was formed with the intent to fulfill a need in the South Florida entrepreneurial ecosystem and kickstart the economy. Prior to opening, research from the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation showed high rates of new business creation with low rates of scaling, while additional research by our organization pegged Miami for “high quality of life, vibrant culture and an accessible customer base”. These attributes marked Miami for entrepreneurial success, though lack of talent, mentorship and capital in the economy made scalable growth difficult. Endeavor Miami now works to fill these voids and foster a supportive entrepreneurial environment in South Florida.
Coming up on our fourth anniversary, Endeavor Miami has grown to a portfolio of 16 companies and 27 entrepreneurs. We have become an important part of the regional economy and culture in industries across Miami. Providing entrepreneurs with access to mentorship, talent, capital and markets, we work daily to fulfill our goals to add value to our entrepreneurs’ businesses.
Endeavor continues to expand in the United States with affiliate offices located in Detroit, Louisville and Atlanta. As we grow throughout the world, our U.S. presence will continue to strengthen, and we look forward to adding even more affiliates to our network in the United States.
