Japan → United States
Building your first team in the U.S. market.
The U.S. is a large, complex and competitive market. Getting the first hire right is what separates expansions that scale from those that stall.
What to consider
Where U.S. expansion commonly stalls
The wrong first role
Sales, BD, customer success — the right first role depends on your stage, and it's easy to hire the wrong one.
Miscalibrated compensation
U.S. compensation differs sharply from Japan. A realistic range is essential to attract talent.
Missing bridge talent
People who understand the local market and can also build trust with HQ are rare — and pivotal.
