Stellenbosch, South Africa — Trey Foskett has been selected as an Endeavor Entrepreneur, receiving global recognition for high-impact, high-growth founders. The selection follows Watchmaker Genomics’ participation in the Endeavor International Selection Panel (ISP) in Stellenbosch last month.

In a highly competitive process, Watchmaker Genomics distinguished itself among exceptional companies to earn a place in the global Endeavor network. Endeavor is globally recognized for its rigorous selection process and for backing entrepreneurs who are scaling transformative companies across industries and markets.

“Being selected as an Endeavor Entrepreneur is a meaningful milestone for the entire Watchmaker Genomics team. Participating in the ISP in Stellenbosch made this recognition especially meaningful, reflecting both the rigor of Endeavor’s process and the truly global nature of its community. We are building foundational technology that enables more accurate and scalable genomics and precision medicine, and Endeavor’s belief in globally minded founders aligns closely with how we are building Watchmaker across Boulder, Cape Town, and beyond. I am grateful for the opportunity to be part of this network and look forward to contributing back as we continue to scale.”

Endeavor is a global organization that identifies, mentors, and supports high-impact entrepreneurs. The Endeavor International Selection Panel convenes experienced founders, investors, and business leaders from around the world to evaluate and select Endeavor Entrepreneurs.

“Trey is a repeat founder with a rare combination of scientific depth and operating discipline,” said Zeb King, Managing Director of Endeavor Colorado. “Watchmaker Genomics is building critical infrastructure for the future of precision medicine, and it was especially meaningful to have Trey participate in the ISP here in Stellenbosch given Watchmaker’s significant presence in South Africa, where more than 70 team members call the region home. Beyond the strength of the company, Trey has been and will continue to be a force multiplier for life sciences companies in Colorado, helping elevate the state as a globally recognized hub for biotech and genomics innovation.
