Capitalizing on the worldwide expansion in the technology and SaaS sector, U.S. startup incubators and venture capital firms have recently started investing in offshore startups all over the world. The portfolios of top seed incubators, including 500 Startups, have long since been enlarged to encompass regions like Latin America and South Asia.
Instead of viewing this trend as a problem, American company founders can view it as an opportunity because it gives them a way to approach foreign partners and venture capitalists (VCs) from markets like the Middle East or Europe for funding options.
Ever since the Startup America initiative, which was established to promote high-growth technological entrepreneurship across the U.S., was introduced there has been a considerable increase in venture investment for American businesses. The amount invested in American businesses by local and foreign VCs in 2014 was $48.3 billion, the most since 2000. International investors are starting to become increasingly keen on profiting from this development.
Additionally, looking for collaborations with offshore VCs might be a great approach for establishing a foothold in each of those regions for future market entry. To do this, create hybrid onshore-offshore teams early in the talent acquisition process. The offshore skills can then be used to obtain market intelligence about regional local investors.
Starting with strong offshore partnerships can eventually result in international growth and investment rounds from local investors in those offshore locations. As a result, offshore contacts must be prioritized by startup owners as a key to foreign finance and worldwide expansion.
