You are a committed entrepreneur with, what you believe, is a unique value proposition to address an unmet need or new market opportunity. You think BIG and are willing to put in the hard work. You already have a product or validated research. You have traction, a wonderful and dedicated founding team, have researched your competition, have some funding (boot strapping is OK too) and are open to honest, actionable feedback…and now you are ready to test your technology internationally.
If that sounds like you, one of our programs may be a great next step.
Specifically, here are some key program elements, that will be customized depending on needs:
- Refine your value proposition for the US market – how are you different/better
- Learn how to think globally – right from the start
- Develop and practice corporate and investor pitches – how to be convincing
- Other communication tools needed – what is a blurb and develop it
- Receive “tough love feedback” from experts – test your pitch in small sessions
- Navigate US business culture – not all markets are the same
- Understand how investors think – what makes them take interest in you
- Learn about different funding sources – not all money comes from venture funds
- Build and expand your global network – attend many events (virtually or in person)
- Stay legal and find necessary resources – meet lawyers, accountants, trusted providers
- Be introduced to senior executives – get ready for many partnering meetings
- 24×7 fully equipped working space at CIC next to MIT campus – community of 1,500+ start-ups, along with 100s of innovative companies in different sectors in the immediate Cambridge/Boston area
International governments, economic development agencies, international business acceleration programs or investors often sponsor promising scale-up companies to explore US market opportunities – you may be able to connect with an existing program.
