Endeavor Romania, a non-governmental, non-profit organization, announces the start of the second edition of its Scale Up Program, a unique program dedicated to companies in advanced growth stages. Running from September 2025 to March 2026, the program aims to provide direct and tailored support to founders in their scaling journey.
Following a rigorous selection process conducted over the summer, eight companies have been selected to join this year’s cohort:
➡️ MeetGeek.ai is a complete ecosystem of meeting apps, AI meeting assistants/agents, mobile & Chrome capture, and public APIs that capture, assist, automate/integrate, and measure/secure everything around meetings – so conversations turn into actions, insights, and automations.
➡️ Lendox is a Credit Intelligence Service, accelerating Bank analytical achievement, from sales to underwriting and monitoring, leveraging advanced technology and proprietary modeling to revolutionize credit risk assessment.
➡️ Symphopay is an Omnichannel Payments Orchestration Platform designed for Banks and Large Retailers. Symphopay democratizes payments by unlocking limitless integration possibilities, empowering banks and merchants to innovate without boundaries.
➡️ Rayscape is a medical technology company dedicated to advancing radiology through AI powered solutions. Its CE-marked products integrate seamlessly with hospital systems to assist radiologists in the early detection and monitoring of lung diseases, including lung cancer.
➡️ Munevo is an assistive technology company that uses smart glasses for people with disabilities to improve mobility and everyday life. The company creates access to technology and improves the possibility of people with spinal cord injuries, ALS, MS, which usually do not have an option to stay mobile in their power wheelchairs.
➡️ Questo helps people to reconnect with the real-world. Players solve clues and challenges that guide them through hidden stories, landmarks, and local secrets, making every walk feel like an adventure.
➡️ Fagura connects individuals and small businesses looking for loans with a community of investors. The company’s mission is to make financing more accessible and transparent, offering an alternative to traditional banking.
➡️ Licenseware helps enterprises save millions on software, with its modular SaaS platform that automates software license analysis, enabling IT, procurement, and compliance teams to reduce risk, control costs, and improve visibility across their software estate.
The process started with over 100 applications, of which 22 were shortlisted and invited to
interviews. The selection criteria targeted companies that have already proven their potential,
showing rapid growth, annual revenues exceeding half a million euros, and a clear vision for
global expansion.
Mihnea Crăciun, Managing Director of Endeavor Romania, emphasized the potential of local entrepreneurs and the role of the Scale Up program in accelerating their international growth:
“Romania continues to demonstrate that it has entrepreneurs capable of building products and companies with global impact. With each new cohort, we see teams that have already passed the market test and are ready to take the next step toward international scaling. Through the Scale Up program, we aim to provide them with access to the resources, network, and global expertise that can accelerate this journey and strengthen Romania’s role as a regional hub for innovation.”
Program highlights
Over six months, participants will benefit from personalized diagnostics and co-created work plans, one-on-one mentorship from top entrepreneurs and investors, and peer-to-peer sessions that foster open knowledge sharing within the founder community. They will also take part in tailored workshops, a 3-day Founders’ Bootcamp with international guests and partners, and extensive networking opportunities both locally and abroad. A key addition this year is the fellow mentor role, providing each company with dedicated strategic and tactical support throughout the program.
This year’s edition also marks a significant expansion of strategic partnerships: Mastercard and UiPath are joining UniCredit Bank Romania, the program’s main partner.
“UniCredit Bank supports business innovation and companies that can demonstrate that entrepreneurship drives societal progress. For this reason, we are pleased to support the Scale Up program of Endeavor Romania, focusing our attention on companies from various industries that show potential for sustainable growth and the ability to expand regionally and globally,” said Antoaneta Curteanu, Executive Vice President Retail at UniCredit Bank.
The Scale Up program is also supported by Endeavor Romania’s local Board of Directors, which includes companies such as Dedeman, Globalworth, eMag, Banca Transilvania, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), RTPR, Centrico, and EY.
