AI is reshaping marketing technology - and this team of founders is stepping up to lead the charge. Endeavor entrepreneurs Hande Cilingir, Serhat Soyuerel, Mehmet Sinan Toktay, and Arda Koterin, alongside Muharrem Derinkök and Okan Yedibela, co-founders of Insider., just announced a historic US$500M Series E funding round led by General Atlantic. Insider’s Co-Founder and CEO, Hande Cilingir, explained, “Our vision is to make marketing and customer experience teams feel unstoppable when it comes to omnichannel experience and customer engagement. Unlike traditional technology companies that focus on a single area or product, our approach has always been to build multiple best-in-breed products, bringing them together in a single platform that outperforms single-point solutions in every way. Now, we are on the brink of an AI era that will truly disrupt the martech industry, and Insider will be the disruptive force leading it.“ Insider will use the funds to fuel its AI strategy, continue scaling its global expansion, create AI and Machine Learning jobs, and actively pursue M&A opportunities. As a member of the #Endeavor network, Insider’s founders are determined to pay it forward, inspiring and supporting the next generation of entrepreneurs. Their impact can already be seen. The company has spearheaded initiatives across the 28 regions and six continents it operates in, driving change in a range of causes, from changing legislation to increasing access to healthcare to the environment. Congratulations to Hande Cilingir, Serhat Soyuerel, and the entire Insider team! #Entrepreneurship #MoreThanScaleMultiply #PayItForward Endeavor Türkiye

We are Honored to witness Mudassir Sheikha, Co-founder & CEO of Careem, share valuable insights at the Majid Al Futtaim Global Leadership Summit. His journey of transforming Careem into an ‘everything app’ and his message about finding purpose, evolving through challenges, and staying true to bold visions resonates deeply with every entrepreneur aiming to make an impact! We are incredibly proud to have Mudassir Sheikha, Karl Magnus Olsson and Abdulla N. Elyas of Careem, in the Endeavor UAE network! #Leadership #Entrepreneurship #Careem #unicorns #EndeavorUAE #HighImpactEntrepreneurs
It was truly inspiring to hear from Mudassir Sheikha, Co-Founder and CEO of Careem, at Majid Al Futtaim’s Global Leadership Summit. His insights into Careem’s journey, from its bold beginnings as a startup aimed at inspiring the region to its evolution into an ‘everything app’ dedicated to simplifying lives, are especially relevant in today’s fast-paced business landscape. In a world where both technology and customer expectations continue to evolve at unprecedented speeds, Mudassir’s emphasis on agility and adaptability highlights a critical advantage. Businesses that can swiftly pivot and innovate are the ones that stay ahead of the curve, consistently delivering value to their customers. This ability to evolve in real-time ensures they remain competitive and resilient in the face of constant change. At Majid Al Futtaim, we share this ethos, continuously integrating customer-centric thinking with innovation to reimagine customer experiences while remaining true to our mission of creating great moments for everyone, everyday. Thank you, Mudassir, for taking the time to speak to us and inspiring MAFers to push boundaries in everything they do.

Endeavor Catalyst has been ranked #1 on the Kauffman Fund Returners Index! We’re thrilled to celebrate this milestone, proving that top-tier VC returns can come from investing in places outside Silicon Valley. Since we founded Endeavor Catalyst in 2012, ➡️ From UAE to Argentina to Malaysia to Mexico, billion-dollar companies are rising in places long overlooked by traditional VC. ➡️ Endeavor Catalyst has invested in over 300 companies across 37+ markets, founded by the same Endeavor Entrepreneurs we’ve been supporting for decades. ➡️ We’re proud to have 59 unicorns and 24 successful exits in our portfolio, including companies like Bending Spoons, Careem, and InstaDeep. Thank you, Kauffman Fellows, for the recognition. Investing in the “rest of the world” markets is not just a bold idea—it is an opportunity.

Endeavor has an incredible ability to act as a super-connector for entrepreneurs, as Bartosz Lipnicki highlighted. These connections not only grow but also create opportunities that lead to future projects and relationships. I’ve seen this firsthand with Endeavor UAE entrepreneurs, where a simple introduction sparks relationships that contribute to major projects down the road (eg Mohamad Ballout meeting Dany Farha & Badr Jafar while at BMB Group, A proud part of Agthia, then having them both as investors in Kitopi). It’s inspiring to watch these connections evolve and make a lasting impact and amazing relationships. #EndeavorUAE #Entrepreneurship #SuperConnectors #NetworkEffects #FutureGrowth
A friend recently joked that my job seems like a never-ending celebration in various countries around the world 😅 It does sound dreamy - recently, I attended 3rd Anniversary Endeavor Romania, 10th Anniversary Endeavor Spain, and 2nd Anniversary Endeavor Poland. But while these events are full of energy and excitement, the real magic goes much deeper. These gatherings are not just about celebrations - they’re opportunities to bring together some of the world’s most inspiring, successful and experienced tech entrepreneurs, investors, and supporters, all in one place. The confidential conversations, and connections that happen at these moments are what fuel the next wave of growth. My work is about enabling those connections, connecting entrepreneurs who dream big, scale fast, and pay it forward. When we help founders meet the right people, the ripple effect is tremendous - more growth for their companies, more impact on their customers and employees, and perhaps most importantly, inspiration for the next generation of entrepreneurs to push even further. The more meaningful connections we can create, the stronger the entrepreneurs become, and the ecosystems around them, and that’s a mission I’m proud to be a part of 🥰

Great to see the Endeavor Fellowship program organized in collaboration between Endeavor Spain & Endeavor UAE bringing Endeavor entrepreneurs from different industries and markets reflecting with each other at a point of transition (eg post exit). This is meant to foster a lot of Peer-To-Peer engagement between entrepreneurs as they explore their next steps in their careers with people who can relate to their experience. Excited to see Mohamad Khachab, Bilal Ballout, and Mona Ataya participate from the UAE.
Ayer tuve el honor de inaugurar, junto a Verónica Pascual, la primera edición del Endeavor Fellowship. Este programa nace como respuesta a ese desafiante "What's Next Moment" que muchos emprendedores enfrentamos tras vender nuestra empresa. Como sabéis la vida del emprendedor es una serie de altibajos, de preguntas constantes sobre qué hacer a continuación. Especialmente tras un exit, ese momento tan esperado, tan anhelado, que al llegar muchas veces no llena el vacío que deja la pasión del día a día construyendo algo propio. Para muchos emprendedores, vender su empresa es el final de un capítulo, pero la historia lejos de terminar se convierte en el "What's Next Moment". Es un momento para parar, para reflexionar, para redescubrir qué nos impulsa y hacia dónde queremos ir. El Endeavor Fellowship nace con la idea de ser un espacio de exploración, un espacio donde quienes ya han recorrido un gran camino puedan mirar hacia adelante con curiosidad y sin prisa, donde se sientan inspirados a buscar nuevas oportunidades para generar impacto, para seguir aprendiendo, para conectar con otros emprendedores que se encuentran en el mismo proceso. La idea de este programa es sencilla pero poderosa: acompañarnos unos a otros en el camino de redescubrir nuestras pasiones, de reinventarnos, de seguir impactando. La clave no es tener todas las respuestas, sino la valentía de seguir haciéndose preguntas y compartir experiencias no solo nos lleva a encontrar respuestas, sino a formular las preguntas correctas. La magia está en seguir queriendo reparar el mundo, de una manera u otra y para mi no hay mejor manera que impactar a los que impactan. Gracias Endeavor Spain Gracias Antonio Iglesias Paulo Revilla Adrian Garcia-Aranyos Ernst Ferdinand Starhemberg Teresa Vaz Antunes Bilal Ballout Luis París Mohamad Khachab Mona Ataya Sergi Bastardas Zeid Husban #Emprendimiento #WhatNext #EndeavorFellowship #Innovación #Liderazgo

Endeavor is officially in London! 🚀 This Thursday, we celebrated the launch of our newest global hub with 200+ entrepreneurs, investors, and industry leaders, marking an exciting chapter for high-impact entrepreneurs. Endeavor Entrepreneurs are global citizens, scaling their businesses in their home countries and internationally. London has emerged as a prominent hub for these leaders, with over 100 Endeavor Entrepreneur companies already operating in the city including influential leaders like Guillaume Pousaz (Checkout.com), Karim Beguir (InstaDeep), and Melih Odemis (Yemeksepeti). What does a global hub in London mean for founders? 🏙️ As more entrepreneurs make London their base, we are committed to strengthening our interconnected community, and providing unparalleled support, no matter where they come from. 🤝 With Constanza Castro Feijóo leading our London team, we’re here to unlock the full potential of London’s entrepreneurial ecosystem, connecting entrepreneurs to the city’s capital, talent, and networks. 💸 Leveraging London’s position as a global financial hub, Pete Benedetto and the Endeavor Catalyst team are ready to bridge the gap between high-impact entrepreneurs and capital and propel entrepreneurs toward their next milestone. Thank you to everyone who celebrated with us and to our incredible speakers, including Linda Rottenberg, Allen Taylor, Brent Hoberman, Edgar Bronfman Jr., Guillaume Pousaz, Karim Beguir, Sherry Coutu CBE, and Tosin Eniolorunda who embody the spirit of multiplying impact.
