Endeavor Insight

Endeavor Insight is the research arm of the global accelerator, Endeavor. Endeavor Insight studies high-impact entrepreneurs and their contribution to job creation and economic growth. Its research educates policy makers and practitioners on how to accelerate entrepreneurs’ success and support the development of entrepreneurship ecosystems, using data-driven analysis and visualisations.

Together with the Lemelson Foundation, Small Foundation funded a research report from Endeavor Insight.

Our partnership and learning:

“Endeavor Insight partnered with Small Foundation to study entrepreneurship in the agriculture sector in sub-Saharan Africa, including a comparative analysis of two value chains: the export-focused Kenyan macadamia and domestically-focused Nigerian maize sectors.”

This was the first study of its kind to utilize network analysis to understand how founders scale their agriculture companies, identify the educational and work experiences that founders gain prior to launching their companies, and assess the availability of support for companies working to solve issues such as hunger, poverty, and climate change.”
