International expansion support for VC and PE portfolios

We work with growth-stage funds whose portfolio companies are growing abroad. Funds bring us in for market due diligence before an investment, for readiness sessions across the portfolio, and for hands-on expansion support inside individual companies.

Support

Where we help portfolio expansion most

We work where the investment case meets the ground. Our role is to make the international part of the plan real before capital is committed.

Corridor experience

Many investment cases include international growth in markets the company has never sold into, so we bring the corridor knowledge the plan depends on.

Validation before spend

We test the market and entry mode before hiring and set-up costs begin, so capital follows a validated decision.

An independent view

Investment committees get a clear assessment of market, entry mode and risk from a team with no stake in the budget request.

Offerings

Support at every point of the investment cycle

Market due diligence before you invest, readiness reviews across the portfolio, hands-on expansion work inside individual companies, and decision support for cross-border deals.

Due diligence

Know the market before you back the plan

We test a target's international growth assumptions. Market access, competition, entry cost, timeline, and the risks that matter most.

Readiness

A portfolio-wide view of who is ready

Working sessions with your portfolio companies to show which are ready to expand, where, and what support each one needs.

Fit

Funds we work best with

We partner with investors who treat international expansion as a discipline, not a line item. The work is most useful when the plan is ambitious and the team is honest about what it does not know.

FAQs

Straight answers to the questions we hear most from funds and their portfolio companies.

Who do you work for?

Both. Funds engage us for due diligence and readiness sessions. Companies engage us for specific markets, with milestones shared with the board.

Can you help a stalled company?

Yes. Recover starts with a 60-day diagnostic and gives the board three clear options: fix, redirect or exit.

What does due diligence cover?

Market access, competition, entry cost, timeline and the risks that matter most. We test the assumptions behind the international growth plan before capital is committed.

Do you replace the management team?

No. We work with the existing team, not instead of it. We add local presence and senior support where the gaps are.

How are fees structured?

Milestone-based fees tied to decision gates the board can follow. You pay for progress, not for reports that sit on a shelf.

Still have questions?

Our main FAQ covers pricing, timelines and how we work with your team.

Have a portfolio company looking abroad?

Tell us about the company and the markets on its plan. We can test the case before you invest, run a readiness session across the portfolio, or work inside the company on the launch.
