Traksjon — Win in the U.S.
U.S. market advisory · Europe / Australia / New Zealand

You know the U.S. market. We know what you haven’t found yet.

Traksjon is an operating partner for companies crossing into the United States — already here and underrealized, entering for the first time, or returning after a difficult start. Operators, not consultants.

What is your winning ambition in the U.S.?

We don’t write the report and leave. We’re in the room until the work is won.

Operators, not consultants. Traksjon works alongside your team through execution — to the signed customers, pilots, and partnerships that were the point all along. Ten partners, five languages, more than 300 companies from 14 countries over 25 years.

The instinct in a new market is to do more, everywhere. The companies that win in America do the opposite: they go deep before they go wide, and they win one customer completely before they chase the next ten.

01

Three situations. One of them is almost yours.

i
Already in the U.S.

You’re already here — and there’s more to reach

Revenue is reasonable, nothing is visibly wrong, and no one inside would call the U.S. operation a problem. And yet companies like yours are reaching customers and channels you haven’t. The difference isn’t their product. It’s that they operate with someone who knows where the deeper opportunities run.

ii

Entering for the first time

Companies clearly good enough to succeed still spend eighteen months making avoidable mistakes — on positioning, pricing, structure, and the pace at which Americans decide. We work with you before those mistakes cost you a year and your credibility.

iii

Returning after a difficult first attempt

A first attempt that stalled is information, not a verdict. In most cases we see, the approach was wrong, not the product — the wrong channel, the wrong region, the wrong assumptions about how decisions get made here.

02

How we think about winning here.

The Top 3 Obstacles to Commercial Success in the U.S.

Most companies that fail in America were good enough to succeed. They lose to three obstacles that have nothing to do with the quality of their product. One — a shared language that isn’t: in the U.S. they speak American, not English, and home-market messaging, translated, lands flat. Two — a market that decides differently: American buyers move faster, through different people, and want different proof. Three — foundations that surface at the worst moment: entity, tax, IP, compliance, and the decision-makers who never attend the demo — invisible until diligence or a stalled deal drags them into the light.

Win the First Customer

Don’t try to win the market. Win one customer. The first American customer is worth more than any market-sizing slide: it is proof, reference, and the thing that makes the next ten conversations different. Early on, everything bends toward one validated win — not broad presence, not a dozen half-open doors. Reputation in the U.S. compounds from evidence, and evidence starts with one.

It comes down to people

You are not doing business with the United States. The U.S. is not one market — it is fifty states, many with an economy larger than an entire European country. And no state is a single market either: each is a web of industry clusters and the individual people who make the buying decisions that move your business forward.

The real question is not how big the market is. It is: do you truly understand the people in the U.S. who decide whether to buy what you offer?

03

Where we go deep.

Defense & dual-use

ITAR, EAR, CMMC, and CFIUS/FOCI navigation, plus prime and integrator relationships and DoD procurement access.

Cleantech

Water & wastewater, energy & grid, energy-efficient buildings, circular economy, and IoT — turning U.S. policy and demand into revenue.

Aerospace & space

OEM and program relationships, export-control navigation, and supply-chain integration for aerospace and space suppliers.

Next-gen mobility

Vehicle technology, charging and grid, autonomy, and the infrastructure that moves American cities and fleets.

Life sciences

Medical devices, diagnostics, and digital health navigating FDA, reimbursement, and hospital adoption.

Aviation safety & compliance

FAA certification, safety systems, and the compliance pathways that U.S. aviation suppliers and operators require.

04

What we believe.

Unrelenting Curiosity
Context is king.

We understand your specific situation before we prescribe anything. The generic answer is almost always the wrong one.

Systems Thinking
Crack the code, not the empire.

We map how the whole system actually works, rather than trying to conquer all of it at once.

Constructive Contrarians
Precision over polish.

We tell you what’s true, not what’s comfortable — and we would rather be exact than smooth.

Operators Not Consultants
Revenue is the verdict.

We are measured by what happens in the market, not by the report we leave behind.

Curated Belonging
Perspective matters.

We bring together a deliberately diverse set of people, because the best answers come from more than one vantage point.
