ABOUT ENDEAVORLAB

EndeavorLAB is a cohort-based initiative to support underrepresented founders in Florida in building a foundation for scale. EndeavorLAB leverages Endeavor’s over 20 years of knowledge and best-in-class services and tools used to support entrepreneurs around the world.

Florida-Based, Florida-Scaled

EndeavorLAB is exclusively for companies based in Florida, as we believe in the power of economic transformation by our local companies and we want to help write their stories.

Small, High-Quality Community

Endeavor selects up to 10 companies following its global selection criteria for high-impact entrepreneurs. They become your support system and community during and long after EndeavorLAB is over.

Practical Methodology

EndeavorLAB’s curriculum is tactical, communicated in advance and lessons can be applied immediately. Entrepreneurs get to discuss and work on their challenges hands-on with the support of their mentors and peers.

We Invest In You

EndeavorLAB is non-dilutive. Founders receive neutral third-party support from full-time account managers, who hold founders accountable and are committed to their success and well-being.

WHAT DO FOUNDERS

GET OUT OF IT?

We know founders are pulled in all sorts of directions, so EndeavorLAB’s framework is carefully tailored to their busy schedules. Group and individual mentorship sessions are also intentionally built around companies’ challenges to iron out their foundations for scale.

LESSONS FROM EXPERTS

Founders select mentors to help them navigate challenge areas and identify potential solutions that can be implemented immediately with real-time feedback.

CLARITY ON SCALE

Founders get to meet and connect with founders and mentors who have scaled companies before, walking away with greater clarity and confidence in their growth plan.

FOUNDER COMMUNITY

Through curated and personal exchanges with fellow cohort members, founders get to create new relationships and a meaningful local support system.
