## What is MIAMIEL?

MIAMIEL is a cross-border go-to-market (GTM) operator helping ambitious startups enter new markets and sign their first real customers. MIAMIEL works in two directions:

1. French startups entering the US market (Series A–B)
2. US and LatAm startups entering Europe

MIAMIEL is not a consulting firm. It is an operator that stays until revenue is signed, with a network of local operators and investors in each geography.
