The invitation-only event, held at the Emmanuel Luxury Venue in South Beach, included representation from 10 Endeavor offices and founders and guests spanning 33 nationalities. Its program focused on scaling across markets, founder burnout, AI, fintech, and the role of founders as ecosystem builders. Endeavor Miami supports high-impact entrepreneurs as they scale companies and multiply their influence.

A Cross Border Founder Gathering

The Endeavor Summit 2026 convened founders, mentors, investors, and ecosystem leaders for conversations, panels, and breakout sessions. Attendees discussed leadership, resilience, growth, and the realities of building companies in today’s environment.

The speaker lineup included Martín Migoya, Co-Founder and CEO of Globant; Hovhannes Avoyan, Founder and CEO of Picsart; Stefan Batory, Founder and CEO of Booksy; and Dileep Thazhmon, Founder and CEO of Jeeves. The event also featured Endeavor’s 2026 Outliers, companies in the top 10% of the global network recognized for rapid scaling, international expansion, and mentoring and investing in other founders.

“Today's most impactful entrepreneurs are not just scaling companies; they are multiplying their impact elsewhere, bringing knowledge, capital, and determination into new markets. What we saw at this Summit is the strength of that global exchange, and Miami's unique role in connecting founders across regions.”

Support For Miami Startups

JPMorganChase, Momentum Miami, and Evertec supported the event. The release describes their role as strengthening Miami’s entrepreneurial ecosystem and enabling the growth of high-impact startups and companies across the region.

“Events like this are critical to Miami's continued growth. We're proud to support Miami's startup ecosystem by empowering founders and strengthening networks that foster innovation and job creation. We look forward to the continued collaboration with Endeavor to enhance South Florida's long-term competitiveness.”
