Joel Montgomery, Director of International Expansion at Endeavor recently met with Kenya Overseas Business Alliance (KOBA) officials at the Kenya High Commission. Mr Montgomery was in London to meet with a wider Kenya business community in the Diaspora, regarding Endeavor’s recent plans to establish a regional office in Kenya.
Endeavor is a global organization, based in New York, which selects high impact entrepreneurs in developing countries and connects them to a range of networks and services designed to drive dramatic business growth in their companies.
Mr Montgomery’s pitch was well received and generated a number of questions. Although Endeavor do not provide funds, it’s approach to providing the much needed support to high-impact entrepreneurs is worth pursuing. The current plan is to assess key Kenyan contacts before opening the regional office.
