A community-driven travel marketplace. A business funding solution focused on Hispanics. Medication management with smart label technology. These are a few of the innovations being created by Endeavor Miami’s EndeavorLAB Women Founders Cohort, which includes 10 companies, all in South Florida. This initiative is part of a JPMorgan Chase and Tech Equity Miami grant, a cohort also supported by Venture Miami.
This cohort, announced today, will gain tailored mentorship, strategic workshops, and curated networking opportunities to accelerate growth. The four-month long program equips founders with the tools and connections needed to scale their businesses, secure funding, and expand their market reach. It is free to the startups.
“EndeavorLAB’s newest women’s cohort underscores the organization’s mission to support high-impact entrepreneurs who are shaping industries and contributing to the local and global economy,” said Claudia Duran, Regional Managing Director for North America and Managing Director of Endeavor Miami. “These founders are making strides across sectors, from healthcare innovations to fintech solutions, and we are excited to support their journeys to scale.”
Endeavor Miami, established in 2013 and the first US affiliate of the global Endeavor network, shared some statistics about the upcoming cohort:
WHO THEY ARE: 14 co-founders are in the cohort. Of those, 10 are Latinx, 3 are of Israeli descent, and 1 is white. Six of the companies led by women, four of which include at least one male co-founder. Seven companies have multiple co-founders, while three are driven by solo women founders.
WHAT THEY DO: The cohort includes three healthcare companies, three fintech companies, two B2B SaaS companies, and two travel and hospitality companies.
