Build the market.
Build the business.

Picor works with startups and technology companies to turn growth opportunities into working businesses.

We work alongside your team across strategy, go to market, business development and operations, bringing the commercial expertise and local presence needed to build new markets, strengthen existing ones and turn strategy into execution.

The difference

Strategy is only useful if it works in the real world.

We help founders and leadership teams work out what comes next, then help make it happen.

That might mean shaping the commercial strategy, adapting an offer for a new market, building pipeline and partnerships, navigating local regulation, or stepping into the business to lead commercial development.

We aren't built around fixed consulting engagements. Our role is shaped around what the business actually needs.

What we do

From commercial direction to market execution.

01

Strategy

We work with leadership teams on the commercial decisions behind growth.

Market priorities, positioning, business models, expansion opportunities and where to focus next. And when the direction is clear, we can stay to help execute it.

02

Go to market

We turn strategy into a practical route to customers.

From defining target markets and sharpening the proposition to developing the right sales approach, partnerships and routes to market, we help build the foundations for commercial traction.

03

Business development

We actively build opportunity.

Picor can develop pipeline, open conversations, identify customers and partners, and represent your business in the market. Where needed, we can operate as an embedded commercial or business development lead within your team.

04

Operations

We help navigate the practical side of growth.

That can include local operations, processes, partnerships, procurement, stakeholders and regulatory considerations, particularly when building in a market you don't yet know from the inside.

International growth

Global ambition needs local understanding.

What works in one market won't always work in another.

Customers buy differently. Pricing expectations change. Regulation matters. Competitors are different. Partnerships and procurement work differently.

We help you understand those differences and adapt your proposition, positioning, pricing, target customers and route to market so the offer works locally.

Then we help take it to market.

Input

Your global proposition

The product, pricing and story that already work at home.

Local market intelligence

Who actually buys, who signs off, and what they expect from a supplier here.

Output

Local market fit

A proposition, price and route to market that works here, then taken to market.

On the ground

Your local presence, without building the team first.

Expanding into a market doesn't mean you need to hire a full local team from day one.

Picor can act as your local footprint, representing your business on the ground, building pipeline and relationships, identifying opportunities and feeding what we learn back into the strategy.

As the opportunity grows, we help build the capability around it, including the processes, partnerships and local team needed to take it forward.
