Endeavor Malaysia, the local affiliate of the global nonprofit organisation Endeavor, is actively searching for Malaysian entrepreneurs across all industries with the potential to scale up their businesses globally.
Endeavor Malaysia welcomes entrepreneurs leading unique, scalable businesses to join its network. Those who pass a local and international selection process are connected to over 3,000 global business leaders for targeted mentorship, access to a global investor network and partnerships for top talent.

“As an entrepreneur, I know how important mentorship can be,” said Board Chairman Afzal Abdul Rahim. “Endeavor can provide valuable support to Malaysia’s next generation of high-impact entrepreneurs.”

"In the past seven months, Endeavor Malaysia has been actively searching the market for high-impact entrepreneurs for selection into its programme of mentorship with top corporate gurus. GridMarkets’ CEO Hakim Karim has successfully become the first Endeavor Malaysia Entrepreneur after passing a rigorous assessment by an international panel at Endeavor’s 52nd International Selection Panel in Jakarta, Indonesia,” 
said Endeavor Malaysia’s Managing Director, Zaman Ahmad.

“Now that Hakim is an Endeavor Entrepreneur, he will be exposed to structured one-on-one mentorship by local, regional and international mentors, who not only share valuable business learnings and experience but also provide exposure and links to financing, business development and access to new markets."

At the upcoming 54th International Selection Panel in New York, Malaysia will be represented by Juris Technologies. The company and its founders will be evaluated together with candidates from 19 other Endeavor affiliate offices around the world.


Gridmarkets is a B2B platform that leases space on excess server capacity while Juris Technologies offers end-to-end enterprise credit management software.

Endeavor Entrepreneurs represented over 225,000 jobs and over US$6 billion in revenues in 2013, and today supports 917 entrepreneurs from 585 companies across 20 countries.


Endeavor Malaysia launched in November 2013 with seven board members: Chairman Afzal Abdul Rahim (Time dotCom), Dato’ Sri Nazir Razak (CIMB Group), Tan Sri Tony Fernandes (AirAsia), Tan Sri Shahril Shamsuddin (SapuraKencana), Mark Chang (Jobstreet), Brahmal Vasudevan (Creador) and TS Wong (MyEG). As in all 20 countries it is present today, Endeavor Malaysia is funded by its individual board members and partner organisations. JP Morgan is a supporting partner organisation for Endeavor Malaysia.
