Growth 2.0 Accelerator Program
New MarketS have always been Hard to REACH.
THERE is a remote way in 2021.
What value is being left on the table this year?
We help ensure you can rest at night. Global Venture Advisory services are low effort but high value coaching as a service. And the BD services can extend, ‘plugging in’ extra capacity which is 100% focused on using new markets to adapt and drive measurable results.
Rather than using events as the pool of potential outreach, we view them as one input as we sift through the Universe of people in your key markets — across Europe, the US…any city in the world. You access attendees, but far beyond from the comfort of your own home office. 100% focused on relevant decision-makers and new business.
This approach is what got:
United Airlines and First Republic Bank as clients for CEO Marcel out of Amsterdam in Natural Language domain
Cisco as a global partner for CEO Thorsten from Berlin in IoT for infrastructure
50 new senior relationships for CEO Filip from Wroclaw in Quantum computing & Advanced Manufacturing
Guaranteed 1-1s by ‘sifting through the Universe’ in major markets (focus Europe, US or City you choose) for up to 4 months. 100% focus on outreach into new markets
