OnGlobal Ventures
International expansion is a high-risk decision, made under new-market ambiguity and executed in an increasingly uncertain world.
Most websites are designed to attract customers. This one is designed to attract the right ones — and repel the rest. Read on or be repelled. Your choice.
We do the following:Education: We're tempted to write "advisory," since some of you will get that, but we believe that all advice is derived from a particular time and place and may not be applicable to a new market. A successful expansion to Estonia can't help in France. So much for advisory. Nor will we talk about our combined decades of international experience. Experience has an expiration date. That time in Australia and Malaysia is interesting, but now irrelevant. Experience doesn't age well in a fast-changing world.Instead, we have doubled down on education. Not training. Education. There's a difference.
-Execution: At some point, new market entry involves, well, moving into a new market. It's at that point that many choices are locked in, along with the risks. It is not quite a one-way door, but reversing course can be expensive. (The current public record is a half-billion-euro market-entry failure — about US$590m, C$830m, or R9.7bn.) But away from public failures are the small- to medium-sized ones. They fail quietly and at a far greater cost. They stop trying.We execute, applying venture-building principles to de-risk your international expansion. Principles. That means they apply to every company. Everywhere. Ambitious, aren't we?
-Exploration: This is the most difficult to explain. So let's use an analogy from our home country, Canada: an exploration geologist. Exploration geologists look for value in new territories. They are dropped (often by helicopter) into challenging terrain. Their job is to search for value, in the form of scarce natural resources, under the pressures of time and distance. Searching, testing — the old word is assaying — and uncovering value. We're exploration geologists.We explore broadly, test selectively, and invest only where the evidence justifies.
