THE TIME IS RIGHT. ELEVATE YOUR SUCCESS TO THE GLOBAL STAGE. !

OPPORTUNITY

The US is the world’s largest, most diverse and open market for technology. Even one sub-category can present a tremendous opportunity for a new technology. For example, only the market for customer service-oriented CRM’s is $4.5B per year. !If your local market has delivered repeatable, impressive growth, it shows that you understand your clients and have an exciting future. !The truth is that your local clients are similar to many companies in the US. And your achievements and entrepreneurial skills already put you on par with the top tier of entrepreneurs in the US.

ENTER THE HUB OF TECHNOLOGY

The challenges are real. !BEFORE YOU SELL, YOU MUST EXPLORE And that is a skill in itself. Silicon Valley knows that just hiring a VP Sales and a team of salespeople can easily burn through $2M, with little results. First identify which market has an immediate, burning need that only you can satisfy. !!GAINING THE ATTENTION OF DECISION MAKERS IS EXPENSIVE Phone, email, webinars, conferences: every channel is full of offers. Eight years ago, Salesforce.com had to invest over $10,000 to acquire a single license - a value of $50/month. Google AdWords typically cost 10x their equivalents in Brazil. Everyone, including your competitors, is targeting the same decision makers. !

CHALLENGES

SUCCESS TOGETHER

RELATIONSHIP We believe that the most powerful force in business is trust. From the first meeting, we are happy to provide advice and support on an informal basis, in the knowledge that you will reciprocate at some point in the future. !MARKET VALIDATION We take our relationship to the next level and create a plan for entering the US. Everything we do revolves around a simple question: “Will this sell?” As serial B2B technology entrepreneurs, we know what to look for. This is done on a cash basis and lasts a few months. !PARTNERSHIP If both sides are excited to move forward together, we become the US partner for the company. Our compensation becomes a blend of percentage - in revenue or equity - and cash.
