Going Global

Expanding beyond Australia — the US and global markets.

For Australian and New Zealand founders, the home market is rarely big enough on its own — and the US is both the prize and the trap. Going global means hard calls on when to move, how to sell across time zones, and what changes when you do.

Founders who've expanded beyond home, and investors who've watched many try, share what worked and what they'd do differently about cracking the US and global markets.

“The ability to control how you work the software around your process, instead of changing your process to fit software, can unlock creativity and value.”
— Andrew McCarthy, In The Blink Of AI with Georgie Healy
