The HORIZN Partners perspective

Global ambitiondemands local precision.

Expanding into DACH and Europe isn't a translation exercise — it's a cultural, regulatory and procedural test. The best growth doesn't come from copying what worked somewhere else; it comes from understanding where you are, and building what belongs there.

The problem

The expensive way to find outEurope is different.

Most scale-ups enter Europe the same way. They incorporate a GmbH or a UK Ltd, spend four to six months recruiting a country manager, then wait another six months to learn whether the market wants them. By then a year and several hundred thousand dollars are gone — and the only data point is one person's opinion.

01

No base in Europe

Buyers in Germany ask early where you are, who they will talk to, and whether anyone on your side speaks their language. A US time zone and an English-only team cost you the second meeting.

02

No time for a long hire

A senior enterprise seller in DACH or the UK takes four to six months to find and another three to ramp. Your board wants a signal from Europe this year, not next.

03

No budget for an entity you may not need

A local company, payroll, benefits and accounting only make sense once you know the market works. Until then it is fixed cost chasing an unproven assumption.

04

What worked at home will stall here

DACH buying committees are large, risk-averse and consensus-driven. Around 29,500 German companies now fall under NIS2, and their managing directors are personally liable for compliance — so security and data questions come first, not last. High-volume outbound gets filtered out in Munich within a week.

You don't need to solve all of this before you sell. You need someone who already has.

Commercial model

One retainer. No entity.Cancel when you know.

The cost of testing two European markets with us is roughly the cost of one SDR at home. Compare that with a GmbH, a country manager and a year of waiting.

Step 01

Live in market in four weeks

No incorporation, no local payroll, no executive search. Two senior people with networks in Germany and the UK from day one, so you talk to real European buyers before you spend a cent on a regional office.

Step 02

One predictable monthly fee

The retainer covers senior people, tooling, localized positioning and outreach. No recruitment fees, no agency mark-ups, no surprise invoices. You know your European cost on the first of every month.

Step 03

Paid on pipeline, not activity

A success fee applies only to opportunities that meet criteria agreed in writing before we start: company size, role, confirmed problem, timeframe. We report what entered your CRM, not how many emails we sent.

Step 04

Short notice, no lock-in

The engagement rolls monthly after an initial pilot. Scale up, narrow the scope or stop. The market analysis, the account list and the playbook are yours to keep either way.

Engagements typically start at a monthly retainer in the mid four figures per market, plus a success fee per qualified opportunity. You get a firm number after the readiness call.

A good fit —and an honest no.

We work well with

We're not the right partner if

You want a cheap way to book many meetings. Our hand-offs are few and qualified.
You expect closed deals without an AE on your side. We build pipeline; your team closes.
Your product needs a local legal entity to be sold at all, e.g. regulated financial services.
You're not yet sure what you sell or to whom. Fix that first — we help with positioning, not product.

FAQ

The things buyersask us first.

No. We invoice from our own companies and you keep selling from your home entity. Most clients only incorporate after the market has proven itself — and some never do.
