One of the most compelling reasons to expand internationally is the potential for revenue growth. Companies that expand globally increase their revenue by an average of 20% in the first year, thanks to access to new customers and previously untapped markets. This growth is particularly vital for VC-backed companies and funded start-ups looking to scale rapidly and demonstrate value to investors.
Take Cooltra as an example. With the help of the ConnectaVerse, they expanded into several European countries, significantly boosting their revenue streams while tapping into high-demand markets. By diversifying into multiple regions, Cooltra not only grew its customer base but also reduced its reliance on any single market, laying the groundwork for sustainable growth.
For businesses aiming for VC success, market diversification is a critical strategy. Expanding internationally allows companies to spread their risk across multiple regions, ensuring that they’re not overly reliant on the economic conditions of just one market.
In addition to revenue growth, global expansion is an effective strategy for risk mitigation. By entering multiple markets, businesses reduce their exposure to local economic risks by up to 40%, safeguarding their operations from downturns in any single region. This diversification allows companies to remain resilient even in volatile times.
Early entry into high-growth markets can also provide businesses with a significant competitive advantage. According to industry studies, businesses that expand into high-growth markets early can achieve a 25% faster return on investment, giving them a powerful edge over competitors. This advantage is particularly important for fast-scaling companies looking to establish dominance in new regions.
For example, Gusta’s international expansion, supported by the ConnectaVerse, helped them navigate new markets quickly, reducing potential risks and setting them up for long-term success. Whether you’re a startup or a well-established business, the ability to mitigate risk while gaining a foothold in high-growth regions can give you the edge needed to thrive globally.

One of our standout successes is Cooltra, a company that expanded its operations across several European markets with ease, thanks to our support. Timo Buetefisch, CEO of Cooltra, shared his experience: “We expanded Cooltra to many countries in Europe, but we’ve never had such brilliant support as we got from the ConnectaVerse. They gave us various options per country and helped us choose the partner that was the best fit for us. It was perfect!”
Our ability to match Cooltra with the right service providers allowed them to establish a presence in new regions swiftly, ensuring they could capture market share and grow their brand. This level of strategic guidance is especially valuable in today’s interconnected world, where the global cross-border e-commerce market is expected to reach $4.8 trillion by 2026, offering immense opportunities for businesses expanding their digital presence.
Similarly, Gusta saw tremendous growth through their partnership with the ConnectaVerse. Mar Albiol, Head of Operations at Gusta, said: “The ConnectaVerse greatly helped us find the perfect solution to strengthen our presence in the European market.” Our deep understanding of local market dynamics and connections with top-tier partners gave Gusta the competitive edge they needed to expand internationally with confidence.
Expanding into new markets comes with its own set of challenges, from legal compliance to cultural nuances. The ConnectaVerse specialises in navigating international expansion, ensuring that our clients are prepared to tackle these hurdles head-on.
Take Shlomi Yosefian from SMB Capital, for example. His company needed to meet tight deadlines while expanding into multiple European countries. He noted: “The team helped us find great service providers throughout Europe who were able to deliver within the extreme deadlines. We loved the personal touch!” By leveraging our network and expertise, we were able to ensure that SMB Capital met all regulatory and operational requirements within their timeline—no small feat when managing international operations.

The Tangible Benefits of Expanding Internationally
Expanding into international markets offers businesses a wealth of opportunities. From unlocking new revenue streams to reducing dependency on domestic markets, the benefits of global expansion are both immediate and long-lasting. Let’s explore two key advantages: revenue growth and risk mitigation.

One of the most compelling reasons to expand internationally is the potential for revenue growth. Companies that expand globally increase their revenue by an average of 20% in the first year, thanks to access to new customers and previously untapped markets. This growth is particularly vital for VC-backed companies and funded start-ups looking to scale rapidly and demonstrate value to investors.

For businesses aiming for VC success, market diversification is a critical strategy. Expanding internationally allows companies to spread their risk across multiple regions, ensuring that they’re not overly reliant on the economic conditions of just one market.
Risk Mitigation and Competitive Advantage
In addition to revenue growth, global expansion is an effective strategy for risk mitigation. By entering multiple markets, businesses reduce their exposure to local economic risks by up to 40%, safeguarding their operations from downturns in any single region. This diversification allows companies to remain resilient even in volatile times.
