ABOUT THE ROLE

Endeavor’s mission of building entrepreneurial ecosystems begins with selecting the fastest-growing, most aspirational founders and businesses. The Entrepreneur Selection team oversees Endeavor’s worldwide pipeline strategy and evaluates entrepreneur candidates at the final stages of the selection journey. As a summer analyst on this team, you will support your direct manager on analyzing a variety of scale-up companies progressing through the candidate pipeline, and prepare an in-depth written profile on a candidate that has reached the final step in Endeavor’s selection process.

With your manager, you will work primarily with one founder and CEO of a high-growth scale-up, as well as with colleagues from around the world, to understand and diligence a company in Endeavor’s selection process. Endeavor is sector agnostic and companies in our selection funnel come from a wide range of industries including fintech, digital health, logistics and transportation, enterprise software, e-commerce, edtech, retail and commerce, sustainability, and more.

In addition to supporting your manager in the development of candidate company analysis, you will also be responsible for collaborating in the execution of the two monthly International Selection Panels (ISPs) that will take place over the course of your internship. During ISPs, we gather select business leaders from Endeavor’s worldwide network - top founders, investors, and operators alike - to evaluate entrepreneur candidates on their fit with Endeavor's selection criteria. 

This role is based in New York City and will report directly to either a Senior Associate / Manager on the Entrepreneur Selection team.
