Endeavor Catalyst is the rules-based co-investment fund of Endeavor, the global nonprofit network that supports high-growth entrepreneurs across more than 50 markets worldwide. Rather than sourcing its own independent deal flow like a typical VC fund, Catalyst invests exclusively alongside other lead investors into companies founded by entrepreneurs who have already been selected into the Endeavor network — a structural model designed to help make Endeavor's global operations more financially self-sustaining while giving its portfolio founders access to growth capital. The fund manages more than $540 million in assets under management, has made over 400 investments across 35+ countries, and has recorded 37 exits to date.
Catalyst's disclosed portfolio includes well-known global names such as Brex, Bitso, Cabify, Bukalapak, Blueground, Asaas, and Altruist, with 71 of its backed companies having reached unicorn ($1 billion+) valuations. Its investment activity spans fintech, B2B software, commerce, healthcare, and marketplace/proptech companies across Latin America, Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and the United States and Canada. An exact founding year and headquarters address for the fund specifically were not confirmed in sources reviewed for this profile.

IMPORTANT VERIFICATION CAVEAT — read before publishing: this entry could NOT be independently confirmed via live sources this session. Both plausible official domains (untrodcapital.com and www.untrodcapital.com) currently redirect to a GoDaddy "domain for sale" parking page rather than a live company site, and repeated attempts to find the firm via LinkedIn, Wikipedia, and multiple search engines (Bing, DuckDuckGo, Ecosia, Marginalia) either returned no result, were blocked by bot-detection, or returned entirely unrelated content. No press coverage (Inc42, Entrackr, YourStory, Economic Times) could be reached or returned a match either.
Based only on the task brief's own framing — which this session could not confirm or refute from any live source — UntroD Capital is described as an India-focused impact/venture fund. No founders, headquarters, fund size, or portfolio companies could be verified. This entry should be treated as unconfirmed and either re-researched with better source access or dropped from the directory rather than published as-is.
Sierra Madre Advisers (Sierra Madre Private Equity)

A sourcing note before the profile itself: an initial search led to a different, seemingly inactive site (sierramadre.vc, describing a vague "Industrial Evolution" thesis with almost no accessible content) — cross-checking confirmed this is likely an unrelated or dormant project, not the real entity behind this name in the Philippine market. The firm actually matching "Sierra Madre" as an investor here is Sierra Madre Advisers, a Makati-headquartered private equity firm founded in 2015 (per PitchBook) and led by Managing Partners Danny Lizares, Martin Lorenzo, and Alasdair Thomson, who together describe roughly 60 years of combined operating and investment experience. Its office is at 1F First Lucky Place, 2259 Chino Roces Avenue Extension, Makati.
Sierra Madre is explicitly Philippines-focused, branding itself "Investing in Philippine Potential," and backs founder-led and family-owned Philippine companies with flexible capital for growth, succession, buyouts, or carve-outs. Its named portfolio spans logistics (Ximex Delivery Express), staffing/technology (TeamQuest Technology), accounting/business services (Frontline Accounting), technology (Shellsoft Technology, Courxera Holdings), agriculture (Excelsior Farms), and hospitality (Mosaic Hospitality Solutions). The firm reports 15+ successful exits and states a 100% founder-retention rate across its portfolio.
