Raquel Laguna/ SUCOPRESS. More than 200 entrepreneurs, investors, and ecosystem leaders from around the world gathered in Miami last month for the Endeavor Summit 2026, a high-level gathering that underscored the growing influence of the city as a bridge between global innovation ecosystems and high-impact entrepreneurship. Hosted by Endeavor Miami at the Emmanuel Luxury Venue in South Beach, the invitation-only Summit brought together close to 70 Endeavor Entrepreneurs representing 33 nationalities and 10 Endeavor offices worldwide. The event reflected the increasingly international nature of Miami’s entrepreneurial landscape and the expanding reach of the Endeavor network.Throughout the day, founders engaged in candid conversations around scaling globally, leadership, resilience, artificial intelligence, fintech innovation, and the personal realities of entrepreneurship. A recurring theme throughout the Summit centered on how successful founders are extending their influence beyond their own companies by mentoring, investing in, and supporting the next generation of entrepreneurs. “Today’s most impactful entrepreneurs are not just scaling companies; they are multiplying their impact elsewhere, bringing knowledge, capital, and resilience into new markets,” said Claudia Duran, Regional Managing Director for North America and Managing Director at Endeavor Miami. The Summit featured a distinguished lineup of global founders, including Martín Migoya of Globant, Hovhannes Avoyan of Picsart, Stefan Batory of Booksy, and Dileep Thazhmon of Jeeves. A major highlight of the event was the recognition of Endeavor’s 2026 Outliers, companies ranked among the top 10% of the global Endeavor network for their rapid growth, international expansion, and commitment to supporting fellow founders. The Summit also highlighted the collaborative support behind Miami’s entrepreneurial ecosystem, with backing from organizations including JPMorganChase, Momentum Miami, and Evertec. As Miami continues to attract international talent, capital, and innovation, the Endeavor Summit 2026 reinforced the city’s unique position as a global meeting point where entrepreneurs can build meaningful connections and scale their impact across borders.
