EVERY MARKET ENTRY STARTS WITH AN AUDIT

Every Entrylab engagement begins with a Market Fit Audit. It gives us a clear view of the opportunity, the risks and what it will take to make the market work. From there, we build the right path forward, whether that means validating further, launching, growing or bringing in a dedicated expert team.

Market Fit Audit – Every journey starts from here

Think you’ve found the right market? Don’t commit on assumptions.
Let’s test the opportunity first with our Market Fit Audit package.

  • Kick-off workshop
  • AI-assisted market and competitor analysis
  • ICP and buyer profile
  • Initial GTM hypothesis
  • Risk analysis
  • GO / GO WITH CONDITIONS / NO-GO recommendation
  • 90-day action plan

 

No endless reports. No guesswork. Just a clear view of whether the opportunity is worth pursuing and what your next move should be.

Market Validation – From promising idea to proven demand

The market looks promising. But will anyone actually buy?

Our Market Validation package takes the next step: we put your offering in front of real customers and partners to find out what the market actually thinks.

  • Customer and partner outreach
  • Customer interviews
  • Distributor and partner discussions
  • Price validation
  • Pilot opportunity mapping
  • Initial market feedback
  • Validation Report & recommendations

 

No more guessing what customers might want. No validating behind a desk. Just real conversations, real feedback and evidence to support your next move.

Market Entry Launch – From strategy to first customers

You’ve validated the opportunity. Now it’s time to enter the market.

Our Market Entry Launch turns your market entry strategy into action — building the local presence, connections and commercial opportunities needed to get your first customers, partners and pilots.

  • Tailored market entry roadmap

  • First offers and sales opportunities
  • Partner and distributor search
  • Prospecting and meeting booking
  • Pilot opportunities
  • Localisation and positioning

No launch plan gathering dust. No waiting for the perfect moment. Just feet on the ground, real conversations and a market ready to do business with you.

Growth Manager – Keep the growth moving

You’ve entered the market. Now comes the hard part: making it work.

Our Growth Manager service gives you an experienced international growth lead who keeps the plan moving, priorities clear and execution on track.

  • Regular leadership team sparring
  • Coordination of the internationalisation plan
  • Prioritisation of activities
  • KPI tracking and progress reporting
  • Identification of new market opportunities
  • Sales and partner network sparring
  • Active coordination of the export project

 

No strategy left sitting in a presentation. No disconnected initiatives. Just clear priorities, active coordination and someone making sure things actually happen.

Outsourced Growth Team – Your growth team, without the recruitment

Ready to grow internationally — but not ready to build a whole export organisation?

Our Outsourced Growth Team becomes an extension of your team, taking an active role in developing the market, generating opportunities and driving international growth.
