Two companies from the Endeavor Miami network — Félix and Skyloom — have secured spots in the prestigious 2026 Endeavor Outliers cohort, which recognizes the highest-performing entrepreneurs within Endeavor’s international network spanning more than 50 markets. Together, companies in the 2026 Outliers group have raised $31 billion over the last three years and include 92 unicorns, five decacorns, 30 successful exits, and 10 publicly traded firms.
Founded by Manuel Godoy and Bernardo García, Félix is transforming cross-border payments for Latino communities through blockchain-enabled remittance services integrated into widely used platforms such as WhatsApp. The company has already facilitated more than $6 billion in remittances while supporting over one million users, showcasing a user-friendly and accessible approach to financial technology.
At the same time, Marcos D. Franceschini and Skyloom are advancing next-generation global communications infrastructure. By developing cutting-edge optical communication systems and laser terminals, the company allows satellites to transfer data at extremely high speeds, strengthening its position within the rapidly expanding SpaceTech industry.
According to Claudia Duran, Regional Managing Director for North America and Managing Director at Endeavor Miami, the recognition of Félix and Skyloom highlights both the growing strength of Miami’s entrepreneurial ecosystem and the impact of Endeavor’s global network in accelerating the growth of high-impact businesses. She noted that these founders are creating internationally relevant companies while scaling innovative technologies and platforms across industries.
Although both companies are headquartered in the United States, their growth strategies extend well beyond regional markets, reflecting a major trend among this year’s Outliers. More than 80% of the selected companies operate internationally, demonstrating how founders from emerging and interconnected ecosystems are increasingly building businesses with global reach.
The two companies were chosen from a global community of more than 3,000 founders, all recognized for creating category-leading businesses marked by strong growth, scalability, and resilience in a challenging economic environment.
