Our Programs

Endeavor Bulgaria was established in 2015 by prominent local entrepreneurs with the vision to achieve high-impact on the local and regional economy. We seek to create long-term impact on the Balkan entrepreneurial ecosystem by helping companies succeed and become the next role models.

Since our launch, we have supported 210+ entrepreneurs, leading 190+ companies through our core programs and open innovation initiatives.

ENDEAVOR ENTREPRENEURS

Once selected into the Global Endeavor network, the Endeavor Entrepreneurs are supported with access to an unrivalled global network, peer-to-peer community, and demand driven services, focused on access to know-how, capital and markets.

SCALEUP PROGRAM

Endeavor Bulgaria’s ScaleUp Program is a 6 to 24 month program, designed to support founders to reach their next scale phase. Founders receive customized support and access to all local and regional resources.

DARE2SCALE

Dare2Scale is a non‑dilutive, industry‑agnostic accelerator designed to help late‑stage startups scale faster and more sustainably. We launched it in Bulgaria in 2019, and since then have supported 106 high‑growth, revenue‑validated companies through a rigorous, founder‑centric approach. In 2024, the program expanded into the Western Balkans, supporting founders across North Macedonia, Kosovo, and Albania.

OPEN INNOVATION

Our Open Innovation Initiatives connect leading corporations and public institutions with high-potential companies to explore collaboration and co-creation opportunities. Examples include the  KUMIHIMO Tech Camp in Bulgaria, powered by Murata Manufacturing, The Innovation Terminal with SOF Connect and the Innovation Initiative with Veolia & Sofia Municipality. These programs give founders direct access to industry leaders, real-world validation environments, and a pathway to scale through strategic partnerships.
