U.S. Market Entry and Growth
U.S. Market Entry and Growth services are revenue-generating activities that help you take your product or service to the U.S. market in the most efficient way. Usually, this is done by selling your solution under your own name or license it to someone else. Both options have their pros and cons, but regardless of your choice, you will have the benefit of utilizing our local team as your U.S. representative.

This revenue-generating option is for companies that want to enter the U.S., maintaining full control of the business, but are very busy on their home market.

Working with us as your local representative, you:
​
-
Have a team of skilled workers identify leads and close deals with and for you
-
Have people locally to handle long-term relations and after-sales services

Which Route Is Right For You?
Many companies know that the U.S. market is the ultimate goal for them, but sometimes they wonder if they are ready to enter the market or even start exploring it. Don't worry, you're not alone - and no one can know before trying... We bring you through our proven step-by-step process and prioritize your resources where they are needed the most. Instead of spending a large budget on the unknown, let us guide you to success in a controlled way.

Access the U.S. market earlier than you thought was possible
It is common among companies to think that they cannot access the market while still in the product development phase. On the contrary, we believe, and know, that it is highly beneficial to start evaluating the market and its opportunities early in order to implement pilot projects and make changes and improvements as suggested by the market. We cannot stress this enough so here it is again:

It is highly beneficial, if not crucial, to start evaluating the market and its opportunities early in order to implement pilot projects and make changes and improvements as suggested by feedback from the market.

​
This is a typical trait of a Lean Startup approach, which we have embraced and utilized from our early days. With a lean startup approach, you minimize the risks associated with entering a new market by making sure you receive feedback, direct from the market, at an early stage. We help you identify the opportunities - as well as challenges - in the market before “going all in”, which saves you money and time.

Whether it is early-stage research or full-on expansion, we customize and develop a market entry project based on your resources, budget, and time.
