Volcanoes are erupting in The Philippines, but on-fire Australia received some welcome rain. The Iran war cries have been called off and The Donald’s military powers are about to be hamstrung by the Senate. Meanwhile, his impeachment trial is starting, and we’re all on Twitter for a front-row seat.
Linda
Rottenberg
“Innovator for the 21st Century” (TIME), “America’s Best Leader” (U.S. News), “The World’s Mentor Capitalist” (Thomas Friedman, The World Is Flat) and “The Entrepreneur Whisperer” (ABC, FOX, NPR) are among the designations given to Linda Rottenberg. The subject of five Harvard Business School and Stanford GSB case studies, Rottenberg is primarily known by another name: Chica Loca (“the Crazy Girl”). Why crazy? Two decades ago, she insisted that innovative, high-growth, high-impact entrepreneurs exist outside of Silicon Valley; almost no one believed her.
As cofounder and CEO of Endeavor, Rottenberg has led the global entrepreneurship movement since 1997. With 60 offices spanning the world, Endeavor’s 500+ member team and international mentor network rigorously identify, select, and scale up the most promising entrepreneurs in emerging and underserved markets, including secondary US cities. The 2000 selected Endeavor Entrepreneurs now generate over $20 billion in annual revenues and produce more than 3 million jobs. Rottenberg also oversees the Endeavor Catalyst LP Fund, currently over $200 million assets under management, which coinvests in top Endeavor Entrepreneurs raising equity capital.
