Powered by the City of Boca Raton Office of Economic Development, Endeavor Miami’s cohort will expand its network of high-impact entrepreneurs and help support the South Florida tech community
Boca Raton, FL – March 28, 2022 – Endeavor Miami, an affiliate of the leading global community of High-Impact Entrepreneurs, Endeavor, is partnering with the City of Boca Raton Office of Economic Development for its second EndeavorLAB cohort of the year, focusing on local entrepreneurs in the city. Applications are now open to entrepreneurs and companies within the Boca Raton city limits who want to participate in the growth program.
EndeavorLAB is a two-month, audience-specific, accelerated growth program designed to support local early-stage companies in establishing their business foundations post-revenue generation. Selection criteria include being based in Florida, with priority given to companies based within the Boca Raton city limits, having product-market-fit and generating between $50K and $500K in annual revenues.
Following in the footsteps of the global Endeavor organization, Endeavor Miami’s goal is to continue uplifting founders throughout the state of Florida. Endeavor’s partnership with the City of Boca Raton Office of Economic Development is an important step in making that goal a reality. Endeavor has previously supported entrepreneurs from across Florida, and is looking forward to connecting with emerging companies in the City of Boca Raton.
“We are extremely happy to partner with the City of Boca Raton Office of Economic Development on this regionally specific program,” said Claudia Duran, Managing Director of Endeavor Miami. “Boca Raton has always been a hotbed for entrepreneurial success with many large-scale companies headquartered in the city.”
“Boca Raton is excited to partner with Endeavor to propel our robust and thriving tech ecosystem. We look forward to working to build on our rich history of innovation and accelerate our exciting future.” Said Scott Singer, Mayor of Boca Raton.
With the development of the first personal computer at IBM in Boca Raton and with companies such as Celsius, VitaCost, Orangetheory Fitness, Misfits Gaming, 4Ocean and Modernizing Medicine all calling Boca Raton home, the South Florida tri-county area, and Boca Raton specifically, has a long history of being a region of strong entrepreneurial roots. Endeavor Miami wants to join the regional movement alongside Florida Atlantic University’s Tech Runway, 1909, Tech Hub South Florida, and NOVA Southeastern University’s Center for Entrepreneurship.
Endeavor Miami and the City of Boca Raton Office of Economic Development hope that this program will be a catalyst for spurring the entrepreneurial spirit that continues to surge across the tri-county region.
