Coaching to help EIC-funded ventures expand internationally and enter new markets methodically, delivered by a founder who personally opened multiple international markets from scratch — setting up operations, hiring first teams, and winning early customers across Europe and beyond. The service helps founders design a market-entry strategy fitted to local conditions rather than transplanting a domestic model: assessing market readiness, choosing the right entry model (direct, distributor, integrator, joint venture, or local team), sequencing markets, navigating regulatory and operational realities, and building the local partnerships that make entry succeed. In addition to developed country markets, it carries particular depth also in African and emerging markets, drawing on years of active venture-building across Africa and current advisory work in the Nigerian market — coaching European founders to adapt their approach for these contexts, anticipate obstacles, and pre-empt the pitfalls that commonly stall foreign entrants. Typical outcomes include a clear, realistic internationalisation plan, a well-chosen entry model, and the strategic preparation that turns market opportunities and introductions into concrete traction. Suitable for ventures planning their first international expansion or targeting high-growth emerging markets.
