Investing around the world- for the August Festival
•
1 like•348 views
The document discusses strategies for startups to go global from an early stage. It notes that mobile apps, SaaS, IOT, and wearable technologies are well-suited for early global expansion. While companies in the past established themselves domestically first before expanding abroad, today startups can be "born global" by seeking out global talent, tapping investors worldwide, and managing remote operations from the start. Government resources like tax incentives in various countries can also support global investment and growth. Hiring international interns is suggested as another way for startups to start building a global presence early on.

It defines a multinational corporation as a company that does business in multiple countries by operating facilities and sales offices worldwide. The report provides a brief history of early multinational corporations from the 1600s and 1700s.
