European Market Entry Sprint

For technology companies entering Europe, or opening a new European market. One of two flagship I.O.V interventions — not the whole studio.

Two weeks, run by the founder, to establish where to play in Europe, who to sell to, which partners carry distribution, and what the first ninety days should prove — before you commit to a full local expansion team.

Founder-led · 2 weeks · from €5,000

Scope follows the decision, not a fixed package. Price is confirmed in writing before anything starts.

Both paths open the same short contact form — the founder reads and replies himself.

Home market

Europe is our home market.

Built in Europe, useful globally: the studio is most valuable to US, Asian and global companies entering Europe, and to European companies opening a second or third European market.

A — Who this is for

Companies with a product that works and a market they have not read yet.

  • Newly funded AI and fintech companies with Europe on the next-stage plan.
  • Payments and infrastructure companies facing European regulation as a market question.
  • Web3 and frontier-technology companies where the ecosystem is the distribution.
  • Global technology companies opening a first or second European market.

B — What you leave with

Eight artifacts, all of them operable.

  1. 01

    Market and competitor map

    Who already occupies the space in Europe, how they are positioned, and where the opening actually is.

  2. 02

    ICP and customer architecture

    Which European buyers move first, who signs, who blocks, and what the buying unit looks like locally.

  3. 03

    European partner landscape

    Platforms, integrators, institutions, associations and regulators that carry distribution in this market.

  4. 04

    30–50 priority accounts

    A named list of accounts and counterparties, ordered by reachability rather than logo value.

  5. 05

    Positioning and GTM sequence

    The position stated in one sentence, then the order of moves that makes it credible in Europe.

  6. 06

    Strategic partnership routes

    Which partnership shapes are worth pursuing, in what order, and what each one costs you to run.

  7. 07

    Qualified introductions

    Where a relationship is genuinely relevant and available, we open it. Introductions are never promised as a guaranteed output.

  8. 08

    90-day execution plan

    What your team runs after the sprint, with owners, sequence and the first proof to aim at.

C — How the two weeks run

  1. 01

    Week one · Read

    Immersion in your product, pipeline and thesis, then the European field: operators, buyers, partners, regulation, competitors.

  2. 02

    Week two · Name and sequence

    Position, ICP, partner routes and the named account list, argued against your own team rather than presented to it.

  3. 03

    Hand-off

    One working session on the 90-day plan, and the material stays yours to operate without us.

D — After the sprint

Continue as execution

Where it makes sense, the sprint continues as a fractional, embedded strategic engagement: partner conversations, positioning, pilots and first proof, run with your team.

How it is scoped

Scoped separately, in writing, after the sprint. Senior and vendor-neutral — not a local hire, not an agency team, no headcount to absorb.

The studio is currently taking one to two strategic engagements.

E — Evidence

European market building is the studio's filed record: enterprise adoption in DACH with ConsenSys, developer distribution with BNB Chain, market entry across European markets with Bit2Me. Each dossier carries the decision, the act and the first proof.
