Canada to America
Canada’s tech scene is growing, and given Canada’s proximity to the U.S. and the size of the U.S. market, it’s a good time for Canadian startups to expand into the U.S. While Canadians have a huge advantage over other international companies expanding into the U.S. because there is no language or time zone barrier, there are still massive structural, cultural, and legal hurdles to overcome.
The U.S. is comprised of 50 states, with unique local labor laws and practices. And the culture, especially in sales and marketing, differs significantly.
Check out some of our insights below on considerations that companies from Canada need to consider when entering the US market.
