Preparation is Key for SelectUSA 2025
The SelectUSA Investment Summit is just a few months away. It’s the perfect opportunity for companies looking to expand into the U.S. market. Recently, Bill Kenney from MEET’s Belly2Belly podcast had a conversation with David Rose, founder of US Expansion Partners, to discuss how businesses can get the most out of this major event.
About US Expansion Partners
David’s company specializes in helping growth-stage companies launch and scale operations in the United States. With a comprehensive roadmap of over 64 steps, US Expansion Partners handles the complexities of U.S. market entry—from establishing corporations and managing finances to running day-to-day operations.
While their ideal client profile (ICP) is venture-backed B2B tech companies from Europe and the UK. They’ve also supported businesses in industries as diverse as biotech. David emphasizes that while they don’t handle niche processes like FDA approvals, their expertise in operational setup and management applies across sectors.
Why Attend SelectUSA?
David has attended SelectUSA for several years and highlights its unmatched ability to connect international companies with U.S. resources. SelectUSA brings together representatives from various states, regions, and industries, providing a one-stop shop for companies to understand the ecosystem, identify resources, and explore the best locations for their needs.
“Many companies assume they’ll go to Silicon Valley or New York, but SelectUSA opens the door to exploring other regions, offering unique incentives and opportunities,” says David.
Tips for Maximizing SelectUSA
Preparation is the key to success. David shared practical advice for attendees:
- Plan Ahead: Study the schedule, block out sessions you want to attend, and use the event’s app to schedule meetings with key contacts in advance.
- Arrive Early: Consider arriving on Saturday or early Sunday. Events and sessions often start before the official Monday opening, giving you a head start.
- Stay Focused: Align your goals for the event with your company’s expansion strategy. The better prepared you are, the more value you’ll extract.
Looking Ahead to 2025
David is optimistic about U.S. market growth in 2025, noting strong opportunities for companies eager to tap into this large and dynamic market.
SelectUSA isn’t just an event—it’s a launchpad. With the right preparation, you can accelerate your U.S. expansion journey.
