What is the Endeavor Excelerator Programme?

High-potential becomes high-impact

Endeavor SA launched the Excelerator programme this year with the aim of extending its reach to high-potential, early-stage, predominantly black-owned enterprises that need a developmental boost.

“We recognise that the South African landscape presents a unique set of challenges and high barriers of entry to start-up entrepreneurs, particularly those from historically disadvantaged  communities.  The Excelerator programme is designed to help Endeavor identify high-potential entrepreneurs and provide them with the development support they need to become high-impact entrepreneurs,” says Malik Fal, MD of Endeavor SA.

Excelerator Entrepreneurs have been earmarked for possible selection as Endeavor Entrepreneurs after completion of the programme. “We hope that, with the right mentorship, training and support, these innovative businesses will be suitable candidates for selection as Endeavor Entrepreneurs,” Fal adds.
