Ignite Startup Workshop

Expanding Beyond Your Home Market

Rafael Lima, CEO and Founder at SolidFace Technology

Thanks to the internet, mobile, and instant communications, geography has become less of a barrier to doing real-time business than ever before. While every entrepreneur dreams of being the next global sensation (like Uber or AirBnB), the reality is that expanding into new markets comes with significant risks, red tape, and unknowns. When you’re itching for expansion, finding the right second market can make all the difference between scale....or fail.  

Hear from serial entrepreneur, Rafael Lima, on how he has successfully started 5 companies, exited 3, and expanded across hemispheres for profitable ventures.

In this Ignite Startup Workshop, learn how to:

· Evaluate key factors for a strategic second-market expansion

· Prep your local HQ for scaling and delivering stellar service

· Understand the risks and competition a new market poses
