Endeavor Aims To Introduce Young Entrepreneurs To A Network Of Business Mentors. Endeavor South Africa opened its offices in 2004 and has led high-impact entrepreneurs to success by catalysing long-term economic growth through selecting, mentoring, and accelerating the best high-impact entrepreneurs South Africa has to offer.

Endeavor connects entrepreneurs with personal mentors who provide ongoing one-on-one support. Mentors are selected from Endeavor’s active global network and are matched based on the entrepreneur’s goals, needs and interests. Mentor relationships are continuous and provide entrepreneurs with inspiration and support. Endeavor works with entrepreneurs to build a team of advisors pulled from Endeavor’s active global network. The Advisory Panel serves as a “global board of directors” for their entrepreneurs, meeting quarterly with them to provide feedback on business and organizational challenges. This provides Endeavor Entrepreneurs with critical input from experienced professionals as they work to scale their businesses.

Connections include mentoring, strategic advice and introductions with a variety of organisations and individuals in a number of fields. In addition to linking entrepreneurs with one another, Endeavor also facilitates introductions and meetings with consultants in fields ranging from accounting to public relations.
