An inspired agent for change altering lives across the global marketplace, Endeavor is a world-spanning nonprofit dedicated to enriching emerging economies with palpable positive results. Helmed by expert financier and equity analyst Laura Maydon, the Miami branch of this association aligns successful start-ups with exceptional entrepreneurial mentors already experts in their field. “Whenever anyone asks me, I always tell them I have the best job in the world,” she says. “I meet entrepreneurs who are bettering their community and then I link them with amazing, experienced people. My selfish drive is that I have two daughters, and I really believe I’m contributing to make Miami a more interesting place for them to grow up in.” A strong believer that a successful economic environ will be a benefit for all, Maydon and the rest of the Endeavor Miami team have already seen an impressive 1,200+ jobs created and $60 million of revenue generated; EndeavorMiami.org.
