Announcing our US Expansion Readiness Assessment

The US Expansion Partners team has created a US expansion readiness assessment and quantitative scoring model to help answer the inevitable “readiness” question Founders, executive teams, boards of directors, and investors all must ultimately face.

“When are we ready for US expansion”? This is a question every company wanting to be a worldwide market leader in their segment will ultimately ask themselves. If your company has successfully raised venture capital, it’s because your executive team has convinced your investors and board of directors that your company has a legitimate shot at ultimately earning a Billion-dollar valuation. If your company aspires to be a worldwide market leader in your segment or earn a Billion-dollar valuation, you’ll almost certainly need to pursue a US expansion strategy given the size and importance of the US market. But when is a company ready to expand to the US market?

While there are many traditional anecdotal answers to this important question, until now there has been no way to consistently measure or assess when a company is ready to enter the US market.

The US Expansion Partners team has created a US expansion readiness assessment and quantitative scoring model to help answer the inevitable “readiness” question Founders, executive teams, boards of directors, and investors all must ultimately face.

Our model includes a 2-day onsite assessment to evaluate 8key focus areas resulting in an overall quantitative “readiness”score for the company and each of the 8 focus areas.

In addition to the quantitative score, we provide:

•       Readiness scorecards &recommendations by focus area

•      Customized US expansion playbook: Your roadmap to the US

•       Site selection analysis & recommendations(3 locations)

•       Board meeting preparation, coaching,& support
