US presence engagements

How we work
with your company

Three ways to put senior US engineering leadership behind your North American accounts — from a short diagnostic to running your US operation with you.

The Gap

Where Offshore Deals Actually Die

Rarely on price, and rarely on engineering quality. Almost always on the question of who is accountable here.

The technical due-diligence call

Their principal engineer asks about failover, data residency, or how you'd handle a migration. Your best answer is twelve hours away, and the person on the call can only promise to relay it.

The accountability question

Procurement wants a US entity, a US contract, and a named person who answers for delivery. Without those three things, many enterprise buyers cannot proceed even when they want to.

The quiet churn

You keep the account but never grow it. Nobody complains; they simply route the interesting work to a vendor whose lead sits in their timezone.

The ninety-day window

A trade program placed you in the US for a quarter. It closes with warm conversations and no infrastructure to convert them once your team flies home.

Engagement Models

Start Small or Go All In

We'd rather start with the smallest engagement that answers your real question than sell you a programme you don't need yet.

Model 01

Readiness Review

A short, fixed-scope diagnostic: would a US enterprise buyer say yes to you today, and what would stop them?

  • Architecture and security posture reviewed as a US buyer would
  • Your pitch, pricing, and proposals read against US norms
  • The specific gaps that would cost you deals, ranked
  • A written plan you can act on with or without us
MOST COMMON

Model 02

Fractional US Technical Lead

A named senior US engineer attached to your North American accounts — in the calls, on the escalations, accountable to your clients.

  • Client-facing technical lead on your US accounts
  • Architecture review and design sign-off
  • Escalations handled inside US business hours
  • Security questionnaires and enterprise onboarding
  • Monthly written report to your leadership

Model 03

US Operation, Run With You

Everything above, plus the apparatus: entity, contracts, and your first hires on the ground.

  • US entity and banking stood up with vetted counsel
  • Contracting and invoicing in USD
  • US technical hiring — roles, loops, and calibration
  • White-label presence on your domain if you prefer
  • A handover path once you're ready to run it yourself

We're engineers, not a law or accounting firm. Anything requiring a licensed professional goes to vetted US attorneys and CPAs; we run the programme and stay accountable for it.

Our Process

From First Call to First Contract

Four steps, each with a decision point. You can stop after any of them.

01

Fit Call

Thirty minutes on what you build, who your clients are, and what you want the US to become. If we're not the right partner, we'll tell you on this call rather than the third one.

02

Readiness Review

We look at your architecture, your security posture, and your commercial materials the way an American enterprise buyer would, and name what's in the way.

03

Pick a Model

A written scope, timeline, and price. Technical work and entity work run in parallel, so you're never waiting on paperwork before you can sell.

04

Run It

We take our place on your accounts and report monthly. As your own US team grows, we hand over deliberately rather than making ourselves permanent.

Where You Might Be Coming From

We Speak Trade-Program

Many of the companies we're built for arrive through a government export program or a soft-landing cohort. If that's you, we already understand the timelines you're working against.

Latin America

ProColombiaBrasil IT+ / Softex

Nearshore teams with strong LATAM client lists, a timezone that already works, and no US technical counterpart to grow the North American side.

Southeast Asia

MDECRegional export agencies

Mature development shops with deep delivery capability and a twelve-hour gap that turns every clarification into a lost day.

Japan

JETRO Global Acceleration HubJ-BRIDGE

Established firms with serious engineering culture, entering a market whose buying process rewards directness they were never asked for at home.

We have no formal affiliation with these programs — we simply work well with the companies that come through them.

Good Fit

Who We Work Best With

We're two people, so we take a small number of engagements at once. These are the companies where we make the most difference.

See If We're a Fit
  • You have paying clients and referenceable delivery in your home market
  • Roughly 10 to 250 people — past the experimental stage, not yet a multinational
  • Your work is technically substantial: backend systems, data platforms, fintech, mobile at scale
  • You want US revenue and accountability, not just a mailing address
  • You're willing to adapt pricing, packaging, and support to a new market
