For many global entrepreneurs, entering the United States is a long-term strategic goal. The country generates roughly 25% of global GDP, shapes worldwide standards for technology and innovation, and offers access to one of the most diverse consumer bases in the world. Yet the path into the U.S. remains challenging. Its size, regulations, and cultural differences often require foreign companies to rethink strategies that worked elsewhere.
Nevada has emerged as an increasingly attractive entry point for international businesses seeking a manageable, well-connected starting ground in the U.S.
Why International Expansion to the U.S. Remains a Priority
Despite fluctuations in global politics and trade, the United States continues to be a magnet for foreign investment. A $29 trillion economy, more than 330 million consumers, and a strong pipeline of high-growth startups make the U.S. one of the world’s most influential and resilient markets.
Many global founders see this moment, marked by strong consumer spending and ongoing technological innovation, as a favourable time to consider expansion.
These experiences revealed a pattern: every international company faced the same problems he did.
VisionariesNV was built to solve them.
The U.S. Opportunity: Why Now
With a $29 trillion GDP, 330 million consumers, and 600+ unicorns, the U.S. remains the world’s most powerful and innovative business environment. Despite global tensions and shifting trade policies, foreign investments in the U.S. continue to rise.
As Rafael emphasized, this is “really the time to act” because market growth, consumer spending, and technological innovation remain strong.
Why Nevada: A Blue-Ocean Gateway into America
Many foreign companies dream first of Silicon Valley, New York, or Texas, but these markets are saturated and expensive. In contrast, Nevada offers a “blue-ocean” environment - a fast-growing economy with wide-open opportunity rather than cutthroat competition.
Nevada provides:
- No corporate tax, no personal income tax, and no VAT
- A unified ecosystem - state government, universities, chambers, investors -all aligned to support foreign businesses
- 2,500+ annual business events and 64 million visitors per year, creating unmatched networking and customer access
As Rafael joked, “Poland visits Las Vegas twice a year.”
Nevada is not just business-friendly; it is relationship-rich, and relationships are everything in the U.S. market.
The 5 Biggest Challenges International Companies Face
1. Market Misconceptions
International founders often assume the U.S. behaves like one big market. In reality, it’s a “collection of 50 smaller markets,” each with unique rules, business culture, and customer expectations.
2. Lack of Local Networks
Without relationships, growth is nearly impossible. Rafael stressed that:
- 92% of customers trust referrals more than advertising
- 60% of U.S. B2B business comes from referrals
- Referral leads convert at 58%, compared to 3% for cold outreach
Without local presence, credibility, and introductions, you simply cannot access decision-makers.
3. Cultural Differences
U.S. business culture is fast, direct, and demanding.
Americans expect immediate communication and high-quality customer experience. Only 37% of Americans give a second chance after a negative experience .
4. Trying to Go It Alone
Hiring consultants or “commission-only sales reps” is a common but disastrous approach. As Rafael stated bluntly:
“Commission-only sales reps don’t exist here.” Professional sales requires real salary and investment.
5. Failed Localization
Global product-market fit doesn’t transfer automatically. U.S. customers have different preferences in:
- Pricing
- service delivery
- user experience
- communication style
And they expect constant refinement based on feedback.
VisionariesNV: The Nevada Ecosystem Approach
VisionariesNV was built as a one-entry-point platform into Nevada’s entire business ecosystem. It is not a consultancy, it is a community accelerator powered by real relationships.
From day one, members receive:
- Credible U.S. business address & local phone number
- Automatic membership in multiple chambers of commerce
- Strategic introductions to business leaders, investors, and decision-makers
- Access to 6,000+ trusted contacts across government, universities, and industry
- Market intelligence, education, and case studies
- Masterminds, expert sessions, and peer reviews
- Continuous product and go-to-market feedback, directly from locals
- Trust transfer from Rafael and the Nevada ecosystem (a major shortcut)
This reduces risk, accelerates learning, and replaces years of networking with months of structured integration.
The VisionariesNV Pathway: From Outsider to Local Player
Based on historical data and current member results, the pathway looks like this:
Months 1–3: Become Visible
- U.S. presence established
- Initial introductions and local reputation-building
- Early network of dozens of relevant contacts
Months 3–6: Validate
- Attend Nevada events (2,500+ each year)
- Test assumptions with real customers
- Secure pilot clients
Year 1: Win Your First Contracts

In fact, VisionariesNV has already helped 20+ companies move from unknown to established in the first six months of operation.
Why an Ecosystem - Not a Consultant - Is the Key to U.S. Market Entry
Rafael emphasized that growth comes not from market reports, but from relationships and integration:
“You need relations, you need to know the customer, you need to interact with the customer. Market research alone will not give it to you.”
VisionariesNV provides exactly that:
- Authentic, community-based soft landing - rooted in trust, introductions, intelligence, and real Nevada support.
