Endeavor Miami selected entrepreneurs from 10 companies to participate in its next ScaleUp cohort.
The program is open to leaders of Florida-based companies that generate between $1 million and $4 million in annual revenue. The chosen businesses will participate in a 17-week series of group modules, peer discussions, office hours and one-on-one mentorships to build connections that can help them scale their ventures.

"ScaleUp represents an exceptional chance for entrepreneurs to harness our extensive global expertise and access a carefully curated suite of resources and services that fuel their growth journey," said Endeavor Miami Managing Director Claudia Duran.
The initiative will end with a demo day where founders will pitch their companies to the Endeavor community.
The participating founders lead businesses forecasted to generate a combined $23 million this year, Endeavor reports. Alumni from the organization's previous cohort-based initiatives went on to raise more than $200 million in capital and create 1,500 jobs in 2022 alone.
