Work in Progress - Pete Benedetto, Endeavor Catalyst: ”the business of venture capital is about your ”home runs””

Pete Benedetto is the Head of EMEA for Endeavor Catalyst, the venture capital arm of the Endeavor global network. He was our second guest on the Work in Progress podcast and we learned more about the power of networks and referrals, about how to track unicorns and building businesses on the model of families.
Endeavor is a 26 year-old organization that is leading the global movement to drive long-term economic growth by selecting, mentoring, and accelerating the best high-impact entrepreneurs around the world.

To sustain Endeavor’s long-term operations in a mission-aligned way, Endeavor created Endeavor Catalyst, a rules-based, co-investment fund, set up to invest in the same High-Impact Entrepreneurs that Endeavor supports.

Pete Benedetto has been working for Endeavor Catalyst for almost a year now, having joined the Endeavor family, as he describes it, in the spring of 2015.
