We build global growth intelligence

Built on 250+ expansions of direct experience. This is why we're building the intelligence platform for international expansion — and who's building it.

WHY WE'RE BUILDING GLOBAL EXPAND

The biggest decision a company makes, made with the least information

International expansion is structurally broken: fragmented intelligence, advisory that disappears once the plan is built, and a 70% failure rate. We're rebuilding it as one platform.

"I've helped 250+ companies expand into new countries. The pattern was always the same — the biggest decision they'd ever make, answered with guesswork. So we built the system we always wished existed."
— JanWillem Gille, Founder GlobalExpand.io

OUR VISION

To become the intelligence platform companies depend on for every market they enter

Accessible to every ambitious company — not just the Fortune 500. The platform every company runs an expansion through, the way they already run a CRM or a financial model.

WHY NOW

The decision layer can finally have a platform

Borders are moving

Tariffs and supply-chain restructuring are forcing every company to rethink which markets to grow into — not just optimise the ones they're already in.

AI collapses the cost

Reasoning across dozens of market variables at once was impossible five years ago. Going multi-country used to mean hiring local teams; now the intelligence comes first.

Institutions want the tooling

VCs, banks, accelerators and trade agencies want expansion infrastructure they can deploy across a whole portfolio — one licence unlocks many companies.

THE TEAM

Operators who lived the problem first
