Pretty much everyone knows Endeavor, which is a thriving global community for high-impact entrepreneurs. What you might not know is that Endeavor also has a co-investment arm called Endeavor Catalyst, which has over US$ 500 million in assets under management and has participated in rounds alongside General Atlantic, a16z and Softbank, among others.

Endeavor Catalyst has been active since 2012 and works with a long-term view in emerging markets. So far, it has seen 49 of its investees reach unicorn status – including Rappi in Colombia and Careem in Dubai – and it has just announced its 4th fund, closed at almost US$ 300 million.

Having been managing director for about a decade, Allen Taylor has been with Endeavor since 2006 and has a lot to share about entrepreneurship in developing countries.

Today Allen and I talk about:

How recent changes in financial markets can impact investments in Latin America
What's different about having founders invest in other founders
