Scaling Across Borders: International Expansion for Portfolio Companies

Name: Scaling Across Borders: International Expansion for Portfolio Companies
Location: UK

in-person • free • public

International expansion is one of the most value-creating, and value-destroying, decisions a growth-stage company can make.

Get the timing, market selection and operating model right and it can define a company's trajectory. Get it wrong and it drains the runway and distracts management at the worst possible moment.

The CVC Club, in partnership with global growth advisory Think & Grow, brings together CVC units, PE value-creation teams and select portfolio companies to hear directly from the operators and advisors who've led international expansions at Series A through C.

Expect a focused panel on market selection, go-to-market localisation, building local leadership, funding the expansion, and the readiness signals that decide whether it works. Candid and conversational, with Chatham House rules throughout, followed by drinks and open networking.

You'll leave with a clearer read on when a portfolio company is genuinely ready to expand, how to choose and enter the right markets, and where the expensive mistakes hide, plus the operators and advisors to call on when it's time to move.

I wanted to say how incredible the event was. It's been a while since I was in the room with that much energy and so many impressive people. Your team has put something together that's very special.

Think & Grow's Executive Dinner has to be one of the highlights of the calendar... Also a good reminder of how strong the APAC tech community is when you get the right people in a room together.
