“I always say we have an advantage being from a small market, just like IT startup countries such as Estonia or Georgia. When you operate in a small environment with almost no large enterprise companies, you’re forced to think about expansion from day one. It makes you more competitive globally.

 

I would always rather invest in a startup that is small in its local market but is thinking internationally from day one, than in a startup that is big locally but only later starts figuring out how to expand.”

“I have to say that our E2 visa interview went very smoothly and, honestly, was surprisingly easy. They asked questions based on the documents we had already provided. The officers were very kind, and at the end they told us we were approved.

 

I also believe that Sharry is a strong company for approval: we have been active in the US market since 2019, we have more than 20 clients there, and many partners.”

 “Know that the US is a completely different culture. Czech people are more direct to your face, what they say they mean. American culture is completely different. Often you might think that you had a great meeting with an American and he was completely indirect with you.

 

You need to understand that difference in communication. Therefore, don’t just translate, adjust it to the American culture and style.”
