Expanding abroad takes nerve.
It shouldn't take luck.
We've founded FinTechs and expanded them ourselves. Now we help founders do it with local partners in 15+ countries — so how far you get depends on your product, not on who you happen to know.
Why we do this
We've been the small team staring at a big market
Between us we have founded FinTechs, run them, and taken them into new countries. We know where it actually gets expensive — not the strategy, but the six months of working out who matters in a market you've never sold into. We don't think that should be what decides which good companies get to grow. So we built the network we needed back then, and opened it up.
Why
Founders should be able to expand on the strength of their product, not the size of their address book.
How
Local partners, not fly-in consultants. 19 people in 15+ countries, each embedded where they work.
What
Advice, research, introductions, and hands-on help — from first market scan to first customer.
