For European B2B companies with U.S. ambition

De-risk your U.S. expansion before you scale.

We help European B2B companies validate their U.S. ICP, pitch, proof points, pricing, and sales motion through focused field work with real buyer feedback.

The problem

The U.S. is too expensive to enter on the wrong assumptions.

Most European companies don't fail in the U.S. because the market isn't there. They fail because they scale before they validate. The most expensive mistakes look like this:

01

Copying the European pitch

The message that wins in Paris or Berlin often doesn't name the pain a U.S. buyer actually budgets against.

02

Hiring before validating

A U.S. Country Manager or sales hire without a validated ICP, pitch, and sales motion is a very expensive experiment.

03

Assuming references translate

European proof points rarely carry the weight you expect. U.S. buyers ask for different evidence.

04

Spending before targeting

Conferences, events, and outreach burn capital fast when you don't yet know which buyer owns the budget.

How it works

Test what is actually winnable — before committing heavier capital.

Operator-led field validation, not a market study. We narrow the wedge, put it in front of real buyers, and give you a clear recommendation.

1

Diagnose

A free discovery call to understand the U.S. decision you're facing — hiring, timing, ICP, pricing, or channel — and what evidence you already have.

2

Validate in the field

Targeted buyer and ecosystem conversations, objection mapping, pitch iteration, and proof-point translation — real buyer feedback, not assumptions.

3

Decide with confidence

A clear, evidence-based recommendation: invest, narrow, hire, partner, pivot, or pause — with the playbook to act on it.
