Endeavor Connect Event with Lucy Hoffman & Sam Hutchinson
Dear Entrepreneur,
You’re invited to join us for a special Endeavor Connect session to close out the year. An inspiring conversation between two global entrepreneurs reshaping how technology connects people and markets.
Featuring:
Lucy Hoffman, Co-Founder & COO of Carry1st
Sam Hutchinson, Co-Founder of Sendmarc
In this conversation, Lucy and Sam will explore what it takes to scale tech companies across continents — from South Africa to Silicon Valley and from Africa to the world. Together, they’ll unpack lessons in raising global capital, building products for emerging markets, and navigating the challenges of international expansion while staying true to purpose and place.
This will be a lively, founder-led discussion — real stories, real insights, and a look at the future of African innovation on the global stage.
