Mission
We support Endeavor Entrepreneurs to scale their companies and multiply their impact for the benefit of their local economies and ecosystems.

Nigeria has the potential to be one of Endeavor’s most interesting markets for a number of reasons, not least the active tech and non-tech ecosystems concentrated in Lagos and the potential addressable market given our population and various deficits.
Endeavor was founded in 1997 by Linda Rottenberg and Peter Kellner, who firmly believed that a boom in entrepreneurship could transform nations. Their passion and commitment have created a movement, transforming Endeavor into something far bigger than they could have ever imagined. Today, Endeavor supports 1,763 entrepreneurs leading 1,106 companies across 33 markets and in 2017 these entrepreneurs generated $15bn in revenues and created 5 million jobs.


Endeavor selects High-Impact Entrepreneurs. These are innovators that will scale their companies, fuel job creation, transform economies and inspire future generations of leaders.
