The first batch of Endeavor ScaleUp Growth Program consists of 12 startups including the job seeker technology platform Sampingan, money transfer application Flip, digital logistics platform Logisly, social commerce platform Evermos, and modest fashion brand Buttonscarves.

In the first batch, more than 65 founders, leaders, and business executives both in Indonesia and abroad contributed 130+ hours of mentoring to the 23 entrepreneurs who led the 12 startups. Some of the business leaders as mentors and Endeavor Buddy involved in Batch 1 namely Rudy Halim (Director and Group Chief Operating Officer, PT. Lippo Karawaci, Tbk), Ratih Rachmawaty (CEO, AMAAN), Vince Iswaratioso (CEO, Dana Indonesia), Suzy Hutomo (Executive Chairperson, The Body Shop Indonesia), Gibran Huzaifah (CEO, eFishery), Iwan Kurniawan (Co-Founder & COO, Modalku) and Darmawan Widjaja (Director, PT Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indonesia).

In the previous batch, Rafi Putra Arriyan, CEO of Flip said, “Through this program, I can connect with new people who seem very far from reach. All of them provided real feedback and insights that contribute a lot to the way we view Flip’s business strategy.”

Peer-to-peer support allows businesses to grow two to three times because of knowledge shared between founders. Endeavor Buddy is one of the flagship program elements in the Endeavor ScaleUp Growth Program where participants are paired with High-Impact Entrepreneurs who have joined the Endeavor network.

Stevia Angesty, Director of Feelwell Ceramics and participant of Endeavor ScaleUp Growth Program batch 1 also mentioned that “For social enterprises like Feelwell, we tend to focus on execution and believe that our actions will speak for themselves. Our Endeavor Buddy, Kevin Osmond, CEO of Printerous convinced us to step out of our comfort zone and tell our story to the public, including those who are not our target segment. The problem we solved was so big that we needed to let other people in and help us succeed!”
