ABOUT ELSEWHERE

Elsewhere is Endeavor's new, independent media brand for stories shedding light on how emerging market founders are scaling up their companies and building thriving ecosystems. Elsewhere turns 25+ years of boots-on-the-ground knowledge in global entrepreneurship into meaningful and provocative perspectives.

Elsewhere is not a pin on the map. It's where founders go to expand their worldview. It's where innovation comes from.

From Mexico to Indonesia, we dive into provocations on global entrepreneurship, venture capital in emerging markets, and evolving entrepreneurial ecosystems, targetting high-growth founders and international investors.

YOUR DAY TO DAY

As a ghostwriter, turn our community’s experience into engaging first-person content after interviewing one or more subject matter experts (SMEs) for each article. As an editor, support other SMEs in refining their ideas from the outline to the final version. 

One day, you'll interview our VP of Expansion, the Managing Director of Endeavor Indonesia, and one of the most respected founders from Pakistan to ghostwrite a piece like this one. The next day, you're editing a provocative essay about down rounds.
