Ten years ago, Tunisian-born Karim Beguir dreamed of building an AI company in Africa that would rival Deep Mind, the London-based AI business that Google had recently purchased for $400M. In July 2023, he sold his company InstaDeep for $680M.
In Indonesia, Gibran Huzaifah got started in aquaculture to fund his education with his own fish ponds. Now his company, eFishery helps 70,000 farmers earn a better living and is worth more than $1 billion.
Meanwhile, over in Brazil a team of four co-founders worked hard for 15 years building their payment processing unicorn Pismo , selling to VISA for $1 billion last year.
What do all these companies have in common? They all prove that world-changing innovation can come from anywhere. And they are all 2024 Endeavor Outliers.
Each year Endeavor recognizes the best performing, fastest-growing companies from the Endeavor community as Endeavor Outliers. The aim is both to shine a spotlight on exceptional companies being built in unexpected places and to curate an exclusive community where founders can connect, support each other, and inspire the next generation through a series of in-person events and online programming.
Karim, Gibran, and the Pismo team founded just a few of the companies qualified this year. Despite the VC downturn, economic turmoil, challenging conditions, and political instability in many regions, they and the other founders of this year’s Outliers are growing huge businesses, solving systemic problems, and positively impacting their countries.
More than just growing their companies, they are also paying it forward, investing, mentoring, and inspiring the next generation of entrepreneurs. We call this, The Multiplier Effect.
