First of all, on the global market. But so far it has been better to take off on the local market

Global first, then localizing where it's needed :)
We aim the global market. Currently focused on North America and India.
We're going global as we are a SaaS startup in the community niche with a strong USP. Btw, we are live on Product Hunt. If you are interested, feel free to check and share your feedback/support. :)

Quite tricky, startups need to start small but have broad ambitions. We started with a narrow local use case and expanded gradually

My first stable job was a copywriting position at a linguistic services provider. It happended ages ago, but I always remember something a co-worker told me pretty early on, "to go global, go local". Success across local markets = global success. Of course, your main mkt assets (your website, for instance) could try to target a global audience. But local strategies always pay off at a different level.

I see that everyone wants to be global. We at FirstHR are also launching into the global market, but if we see a strong bias towards one specific country, we will most likely focus on working with it. There is nothing wrong with being a local leader and then taking over the world. What do you think?

Global. More bandwidth to finding pmf a bit slowly

Always global (good thing living in a small country - global is always default mindset).
