Case Study: Documaster on Startup Day: Think BIG, Think Global, September 24. 2015
The CEO of Documaster discusses his experience traveling abroad with the TINC program. Some key points: 1) The goals of traveling with TINC were to develop a scalable growth plan, validate market opportunities, learn about fundraising in Silicon Valley, and identify partners and resellers. 2) He notes the "pay-it-forward culture" of startups in other places, with people willing to introduce you to their networks and say "I know someone who could help you." 3) His advice for others considering traveling abroad is to test your product with real people, seek validation outside of Norway, and go as a team for at least a few weeks to get feedback before returning.
