Global is the new norm: How SaaS companies prepare for global expansion
summary
MessageBird provides communication APIs for SMS WhatsApp and voice and Branch tracks mobile linking and measurement; UiPath scales from 5 to 200 million in two years to illustrate hypergrowth. Market entry follows a three‑step validation: country size, internet/mobile penetration, spending power, then send somebody there for three months to test interest and first sales. Keep core product consistent, avoid per‑market rewrites, localize when language or regulation demand it, recruit a local technical door‑opener, and win early logos to build trust.
