Great ideas belong to the world, and we exist to make sure geography never stands between a remarkable company and its full potential.
You've built something remarkable in Europe. The U.S. market is the next frontier; vast, complex, and full of opportunity. Lighthouse Atlantic guides European innovators safely into port, with the embedded sales leadership to win from day one.
Every company's U.S. entry looks different. Some need a specific answer fast. Some need boots on the ground at a critical event. Some are ready for the full commitment. Start where it makes sense; and go as far as you need.
Get expert answers to your most pressing U.S. market questions.
A focused, time-bound engagement... typically two to six weeks... built around one clear deliverable. Whether you need a go-to-market strategy, a pricing framework built for American buyers, a competitive landscape assessment, or a sales infrastructure audit, we scope the work, do the research, and hand you something actionable. No retainer. No long-term commitment.
Put an experienced U.S. voice in the room.
Trade shows are often a European company's first real introduction to the American market... full of potential customers, partners, and competitive intelligence. But only if you know how to work the room. We attend on your behalf, represent your company with senior credibility, qualify prospects, and make sure you leave with pipeline, not just business cards.
Embedded sales leadership from first call to first revenue... and beyond.
The complete U.S. market entry engagement. Lighthouse Atlantic embeds into your business for a defined period... typically six to twelve months... covering strategy, infrastructure, pipeline generation, and team transition. Senior U.S. sales leadership, active every week, at a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire. And because the engagement has a defined arc, you always know where you are and where it's going.
When entering the U.S., the instinct is often to hire a local sales rep or a full-time VP. Both options carry significant risks for a company still finding its footing in a new market. There is a better way.
U.S. market entry is already a significant investment. Our fractional model is designed to give you the senior sales leadership you need at a cost structure that makes sense for a company in the early stages of crossing the Atlantic.
Hiring a senior U.S. sales leader before you've validated your go-to-market is one of the most expensive mistakes a European company can make in market entry. Fractional leadership gives you the expertise without the risk.
We begin with a rigorous assessment of your current situation; product-market fit, competitive positioning, existing U.S. relationships, and the realistic opportunity ahead.
Together we identify the highest-leverage entry points; the right beachhead customers, partners, and channels to pursue first; and build a clear sales strategy around them.
We embed alongside your team and execute; building pipeline, engaging prospects, developing partners, and actively closing your first U.S. customers.
With early customers won and a repeatable sales motion established, we help you hire local talent and transition to a fully independent U.S. operation ... safely in port.
If you're a European innovator with ambitions in the U.S. market, let's talk. The first conversation is about understanding your situation ... where you are, where you want to be, and what the crossing will take.
