Canadian businesses have a wealth of international growth opportunities available to them. The country itself offers an extensive market with growing populations across its borders. There are several different ways to enter these markets without having any direct competitors in other countries – this makes it easier than ever before for small companies like yours! To talk about international growth opportunities for Canadian companies, we had the chance to chat with Michele Romanow, Serial Entrepreneur, Co-Founder & CEO of Clearco, Dragon on Dragons’ Den.
Michele is a serial entrepreneur who started six companies before her 35th birthday. She previously co-founded SnapSaves, which American tech giant Groupon acquired. She also co-founded Buytopia.ca, which acquired ten competitors and is now Emerge Commerce. In 2015, Michele became the youngest Dragon on Dragons’ Den. A prolific investor, Michele has been named Fortune’s 40 under 40, a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum, one of Canada’s Most Powerful Women and Canada’s Angel Investor of the Year. In this podcast, Michele discussed her partnership with google for the first-ever Think Global International Growth event, the key strategies for succeeding in foreign markets, the tools and insights that helped her scale Clearco internationally, and shared her advice for entrepreneurs who are looking to expand their business into new markets.
