Reseed’s Market Entry Strategy: How to Launch in 12 Countries Simultaneously

Reseed’s Market Entry Strategy: How to Launch in 12 Countries Simultaneously

Scaling internationally often means sequential country launches. Reseed took a bolder approach, targeting 12 countries simultaneously. In a recent Category Visionaries episode, founder Josh Knauer shared their expansion strategy.

Strategic Market Selection Reseed focused on regions where farming communities face critical challenges. “Those same farms are the place where 80% of the world’s deforestation is taking place,” Josh explains. This insight helped prioritize markets where their platform could have the most impact.

Building Universal Standards The key to multi-market expansion was creating standardized measurement protocols. “We are literally the first company in the world to create a carbon credit measuring protocol for active agricultural land in very small places,” Josh notes. This standardization enables consistent verification across different agricultural contexts.

Data-Driven Expansion Reseed’s platform collects data that informs expansion decisions. They help farmers “harvest data from their land that they’re able to harvest and provide to us through an app that we provide to them, and turning that data into carbon credits and other products.” This data helps identify patterns and opportunities across markets.

Regulatory Navigation The company built their platform to accommodate different regulatory frameworks. As Josh explains, they’re “working with world governments and UN bodies and all the rest, to have our carbon credits specifically and some of our other products recognized and validated as being ready for regulated carbon markets.”

Scaling Through Partners Rather than building local teams everywhere, Reseed leverages partnerships. This approach helps them reach “well over 10,000 farmers that are participating and collecting data and helping our business partners in bringing those credits to market.”

Future Growth Plans The current expansion is just the beginning. “Our goal within a year or two is to be working with tens of millions of farmers,” Josh states. This ambitious target shapes their market entry decisions and platform development.

For B2B founders planning international expansion, Reseed’s experience highlights the importance of standardized protocols and strategic market selection. As Josh emphasizes, success in multiple markets requires building systems that can scale across different regulatory and agricultural contexts while maintaining consistent verification standards.

The lesson? Sometimes the fastest path to global scale isn’t sequential country launches, but building systems that enable simultaneous expansion across markets with similar characteristics.
