An International Startup Entering the U.S. Market
You are an international startup looking to understand the U.S. ecosystem, identify relevant opportunities, and build relationships that support your expansion strategy.
JANUS Port is JANUS Innovation Hub’s program for international startups seeking to establish connections, explore opportunities, and navigate their entry into the U.S. market.
Entering a new market requires more than having a strong product. Founders need a better understanding of the ecosystem, access to the right relationships, and support identifying opportunities that align with their goals.
JANUS Port helps startups navigate the U.S. innovation ecosystem through strategic guidance, ecosystem connections, and access to relationships with investors, corporations, universities, industry organizations, and startup communities.
The program supports companies as they explore market entry, build strategic partnerships, strengthen their positioning, and develop relationships that can support long-term growth.
Rather than following a fixed curriculum, JANUS Port is structured around each company’s market goals, industry, expansion plans, and specific challenges.
Applications are accepted on a rolling basis. Due to the relationship-driven nature of the program, JANUS works with a limited number of companies at a time to maintain focused and meaningful engagement.
