Every time a healthcare business talks to me about expansion, they say the same thing:

“We want to go to America.” But here’s the thing… just because it’s the biggest healthcare market in the world, doesn’t mean it should be your first stop.

The US is complex, highly regulated, and fiercely competitive—so getting your strategy right before you enter is crucial.

That’s why, in this Five in Five, I’m sharing five key lessons from my conversation with Angela Spang, an award-winning MedTech entrepreneur who’s successfully scaled her business across the UK, Sweden, and the USA.

If you’re considering an international expansion, this episode is packed with insights to help you make smarter moves and avoid costly mistakes.
