What to know about USAccelerator

The United States is undeniably the best place to do business. It has the largest economy, the wealthiest consumers, plentiful capital financing, and pro-business political and legal systems. In addition, industrious people arriving from other countries regularly realise their “American Dream.”

However, many international businesspeople struggle as they underestimate the complexity and challenges of launching and expanding their business in the United States.

Immigrants often have difficulty making connections and finding the necessary resources to be successful.

USAccelerator helps their client companies to make it in America in line with its mission to be the most trusted source of strategic guidance and local support for international companies to successfully enter and scale in U.S. markets.

Among others, USAccelerator develops workshops that prepare people for doing business in the United States. In interactive sessions, USAccelerator examines the diversity and complexity of U.S. markets and helps develop strategies to enter and scale them.

The US-based professional service firm also manages a global community on LinkedIn Groups that was established to support members with news and information, connections, and resources for accelerating businesses in the United States. Members include leaders in global companies, government agencies, professional services and non-profit organisations.
