International Market Entry Accelerator
We connect global talent with U.S. opportunity, helping international startups gain the skills, connections, and market presence to enter the world's largest innovation market.
The Opportunity
The World's Greatest Market for Startup Innovation
The U.S. leads the world in startup outcomes, yet it remains underserved for international founders.
U.S. GDP, #1 globally
Share of global GDP
U.S. unicorn companies
More unicorns than China
Despite this opportunity, international founders face real barriers: regulatory complexity, investor unfamiliarity, and limited Midwest access.
What Is gATLAS
Our International Market Entry Accelerator
We help cohorts of international startups gain the skills, connections, and market presence to successfully enter the United States.

Our Competitive Edge
Highly Customized, Globally Connected
Concierge vs. Volume
vs. large standardized cohortsWhile others run large, standardized cohorts, we cap each gATLAS cohort at five startups for maximum depth and measurable outcomes.
Midwest Access
vs. coast-only programsRoughly 80% of U.S. venture capital sits in California, Massachusetts, and New York. We unlock the industrial heartland: enterprise buyers in manufacturing, mobility, agtech, and energy that others can't reach.
Government-Funded Model
vs. equity-based acceleratorsOur programs are funded by development agencies and government ministries. We take no equity, so startups keep full ownership throughout.
