What this book gives you

Made Here, Built There is a practical field guide for founders expanding into new markets. It breaks down the real steps behind cross-border growth—from legal setup and banking workflows to cultural dynamics, risk controls, and managing distributed teams. Instead of theory, you get clear explanations, simple frameworks, and real examples you can apply immediately.

Clarity on where to start

Understand what matters in the first 90 days of going global: market selection, entity decisions, and basic infrastructure.

Operational checklists

Simple, reusable checklists you can plug into your own expansion plans without adding bureaucracy.

Real-world perspective

Lessons drawn from working across multiple countries, not just from slides or theory.

What you'll learn

  • What compliance actually means across borders.
