The Problem

Most startups crossing borders fail for the same reasons.

  • Wrong ICP & wrong positioning for the new market
  • No local network, no local credibility
  • Wrong first hires, too fast
  • Legal & compliance blind spots
  • Too much burn, too late decisions
12–18 months wasted before realizing the market was never properly validated.
The Fix

We don't help you "set up"
a new market. We help you sell.

"Revenue comes first.
Everything else is noise."

MIAMIEL is a cross-border GTM partner for ambitious founders. Not a consulting firm. Not a law firm. Not a relocation service.

An operator with a network of investors, founders and decision-makers across the US, Europe and LatAm — who stays in the trenches until you sign your first real customers in the new market.

The Offer

Two Directions.
One Method.

Whichever border you're crossing, we run the same disciplined process: validate before you scale, sell before you hire, build with local operators — not from a distance.

Track 01 · 🇫🇷 → 🇺🇸
French Startups → US

Go / No-Go decision for the US market. ICP validation, pricing calibration, competitive landscape — before you spend a single dollar on US headcount.

  • US market reality check (8–12 weeks)
  • ICP & pricing calibration
  • First US customers, not just intros
  • Activated network: US investors, VCs & enterprise buyers
Track 02 · 🌎 → 🇪🇺
US & LatAm Startups → Europe

Entering Europe means choosing the right first market, the right first partner, and the right local team. We've done it — and we have the network to do it fast.

  • European market selection & ICP mapping
  • Activated network: European VCs, corporates & operators
  • First enterprise customers in FR, DE or UK
  • Regulatory & compliance roadmap

The Founder

I co-founded MyBestPro (Wengo) in 2006 and scaled it to 260 employees across 9 European countries before exiting to Vivendi in 2017. Since then I co-founded and backed startups including 1point6, Mucho, and others — raising a cumulative €45M across co-founded ventures, with 5 exits. I also built 321, a venture studio operating across France, Greece, Miami and Buenos Aires — 10 countries built across, in total.

Every time I entered a new market, the lesson was the same: you don't win from a distance. You need someone inside the ecosystem — a local operator who knows who to call, what to avoid, and how to move fast. That's why MIAMIEL is built around a network of operators and investors across the US, Europe and LatAm, not a single consultant parachuted in.

I bring the cross-border method and the connections. The local partners bring the ecosystem. Together, we get to revenue faster than anyone doing it alone.
