De-risk US expansion

Figure out exactly how to launch in the US without your unit economics blowing up and bankrupting your New Zealand company.

MODEL Teardown

Restructure the model before the US entry.

I identify exactly where the business model breaks and the commercial changes required before you commit capital to a US market that will punish the New Zealand version of your business.

THE OUTPUT

A plan your board can get behind.

You leave with a sound, pressure-tested plan and a board conversation that no longer starts with "I think."

If the math doesn't work, I will tell you. If the right answer is not yet, you will know exactly why and what has to change before a US launch.

THE PROCESS

Architecture before execution.

Every engagement starts with the US Market Entry Diagnostic. I find what's going to break. No fluff. No optimism.
