Endeavor Catalyst raises $320 million Fund V as Europe becomes its fastest-growing market

The story so far, in brief; the legwork, and the full article, stay with the original outlet.

Endeavor Catalyst, the venture capital fund of the Endeavor entrepreneur network, has announced Fund V: $320 million, oversubscribed. Its investment criteria start with a membership check, since it backs only companies led by Endeavor Entrepreneurs, alongside other venture and growth equity firms. It manages more than $850 million and has backed 437 companies in 44 markets, 83 of them valued at $1 billion or more, with 39 exits.

Europe is the fastest-growing part. Catalyst invested in 12 companies through Endeavor's European offices in the first half of 2026, against 14 in all of 2025 and seven in 2024. Fund V's European deals include Bulgaria's EnduroSat and HappyRobot, whose founders are Spanish.

Its European companies raised $3.3 billion in rounds Catalyst joined over 2025 and the first six months of 2026, the most of any region. The fund expects to invest another $25 million to $30 million before 2026 is out.
