Endeavor Miami

The magic of Endeavor lies in its people. ✨ As we reflect on 2024, we’re filled with gratitude for the incredible milestones achieved this year—whether it was launching our newest office in Ukraine, opening our global hub in London, or welcoming 152 new high-impact entrepreneurs. These accomplishments are a testament to the dedication of our global team. Thank you to each and every one of you for going above and beyond to amplify the impact of our entrepreneurs and help transform economies worldwide. Happy Holidays, #OneEndeavor!

Endeavor Miami put together an amazing event last week with #EndeavorSummit 2024! Congrats to Claudia Duran and team! Endeavor Entrepreneur Johanna Mikkola did an awesome job as emcee for a jam-packed day that included keynotes from true 🎸 rock stars like Endeavor board member and Bicycle Capital Founder Shu Nyatta and Endeavor's own co-founder & CEO Linda Rottenberg! For my part, I had a great time kicking the day off with a panel of 3 amazing Endeavor Entrepreneurs: 🟢 Firat Isbecer from Pozitron and Commencis [Endeavor Türkiye] 🔵 Rodrigo Bernardinelli from Digibee [Endeavor Miami & Endeavor Brasil] 🟣 Dave A. Salvant from SQUIRE [Endeavor Western New York] 🟠 (Brynne McNulty Rojas from Habi was also there in spirit!) Most of all, I loved feeling the energy and buzz of #Miami and the community that has been so welcoming as a "hub" for entrepreneurs from all over. Sebastian Mejia from Rappi, Adolfo Babatz from Clip and others all spoke about what's happening in Miami, and I got the real sense that Igor Piquet and I will be spending more time in Miami for Endeavor Catalyst in the future! #WatchThisSpace #Miami 🏖️ #Endeavor305

During last week's Endeavor Miami Summit, I spoke about the growing significance of #LatinAmerica #venturecapital to U.S. national security interests. As more of the world -- including strategic competitors like China -- comes to recognize the entrepreneurial talent in the region, founders must have options for values-aligned investors over those with unclear or misaligned motives. This makes the work of the Americas Partnership Investor Network and other similar initiatives all the more critical to ensure there is ample venture capital available in the region. It is in the U.S. national interest, and that of our regional partners, that we do not make the same mistake we did with physical and digital infrastructure as well as critical minerals -- we need to ensure strategic partners have options for sources of values-aligned investment. Thanks to Claudia Duran and Gabriella Trigueros for inviting me, my co-panelists Ines Bonicelli and Júlia Figueiredo for making me think, and to Ernest Bachrach, Alberto Beeck, Jason Turner, Ari Lisjak, Jose Prado, Michael Basch, Melissa Medina, and so many others for the thoughtful conversations.

Our founders are now Endeavor Entrepreneurs! 🚀 We're proud to share that our founders, Manuel J Godoy and Bernardo Garcia, have been selected as Endeavor Entrepreneurs during the 101st International Selection Panel (ISP) held in Miami.

In just one year, Manuel J Godoy and Bernardo Garcia have gone from Scale Up Alumni to #EndeavorEntrepreneurs! 🚀 Founded in 2021, Félix is transforming how Latino immigrants in the U.S. send money back home. By enabling seamless cross-border payments through WhatsApp, they’re offering a fast, affordable, and accessible solution for families across Latin America. 💸 With transfers starting at just $2.99 and powered by stablecoins, Félix is making a real impact in a $155 billion market. Manuel and Bernardo’s personal experiences as immigrants inspired them to build a tool that’s bridging financial gaps and empowering communities. Congratulations to the Félix team – we can’t wait to see what’s next! 🎉 #EndeavorEntrepreneur #EndeavorMiami #MiamiTech #Global #Network

✨ Reflecting on our 2024 Endeavor Summit at the Rubell Museum✨ This year’s Endeavor Summit was a powerful reminder of what happens when a community of incredible entrepreneurs, thought leaders, and changemakers come together to redefine success. From the thought-provoking panels to the inspiring stories shared by our speakers, every moment reinforced the importance of leading with purpose and creating a multiplier effect in our communities. A heartfelt thank you to our speakers for sharing their expertise and to every attendee who brought their energy, ideas, and passion to this unforgettable event. And, of course, a special shoutout to the Endeavor Miami team and all the volunteers who gave their heart and soul to bring the event to life - teamwork does make the dream work. As the year comes to a close, two inspiring takeaways stand out: 1️⃣ Redefining entrepreneurial success means focusing not only on growth but also on impact—building businesses that uplift ecosystems. 2️⃣ Collaboration and shared purpose ignite innovation that can truly transform the future. We are so grateful to walk this journey with all of you. Let’s carry this momentum into the new year and continue building something extraordinary together. 💙 📽️ https://lnkd.in/etJkC45t Johanna Mikkola, David Correa, Mobolaji S., Richard R., Linda Rottenberg, Allen Taylor, Shu Nyatta, Maurice R.
