A GoGlobal Year in Review—from Miami to Mexico City, and beyond.
As we kick off 2026 (and the first week of January), we want to take a moment to reflect on what 2025 meant for GoGlobal: momentum, execution, and a deeper commitment to what has defined us since day one.
Since 2019, GoGlobal has been built on one belief: “We don’t just invest — we reinvest. Because growth is a shared journey.”In 2025, we didn’t just live this principle—we multiplied it.
Miami → Latin America: our first stop was Mexico City
In 2025, GoGlobal expanded forward through Miami—our bridge city—and into Latin America. Mexico City, Mexico, was our first stop, and it became a powerful proof point of our model: founder-first, outcome-driven, and globally executable.
Spotlight: the Mexico City angle (GoGlobal x 1RedBrand)
Through our SelectUSA mentorship network, GoGlobal began working with 1RedBrand, supporting the founders as they refined their U.S. market entry + expansion strategy and strengthened their deck for the U.S. audience.
In a recent founder check-in, the 1RedBrand team shared that their vision is now much clearer and their next steps feel significantly more confident—exactly the kind of outcome we aim for: clarity → strategy → execution.
SelectUSA: expanding U.S. entry impact with global founders
Our collaboration with SelectUSA continued to grow our impact in 2025, as we supported visionary founders expanding into the U.S. with GoGlobal services.
We also continued supporting women founders through Select Global Women in Tech (SGWIT)—a yearlong mentorship network designed to help international women tech entrepreneurs build U.S. readiness through guidance, community, and market exposure.
Women founders: mentorship multiplied again
In 2025, GoGlobal expanded support for women founders through the Femme Lead Mentorship Program, aligned with our reinvest philosophy: expanding access to leadership, network, and opportunity.
And across our broader women-founder work—including Arya Americas—we continued to reinvest time, network, and experience into founders building globally.
Reinvestment, made real
2025 included milestone portfolio moments—celebrating founders closing rounds and hitting growth milestones—and reaffirming our model of reinvesting back into the startups we support.

Founder voices (what clients say)
From our GoGlobal Testimonials Series
What founders consistently tell us they walk away with: clarity, a roadmap, stronger market-entry logic, and a sharper investor story.
Clarity & Roadmap
ZT — SaaS | North America: “After our first strategy session, we had a roadmap.”
YK — AI & Analytics | South Asia: Stronger narrative + clearer expansion direction after pressure-testing assumptions.
Investor Readiness & Pitch Transformation
DN — HealthTech | Europe: “We got the right questions to ask—and a clearer path forward.”
AM — Consumer App | Latin America: Translated traction into an investable story tailored to investor expectations.
JL — Digital Infrastructure | Western Europe: Reframed the pitch for long-term scale (not just “deck polish”).
NR — MedTech | Southern Europe: Positioned for U.S./MENA investor conversations beyond the local network.
Market Entry & Expansion Playbooks
MC — AgriTech | East Africa: Built an investor-ready playbook for entering Europe.
RL — EdTech | West Africa: Market-entry analysis + investor mapping that prevented costly misdirection.
ESG → Investor Language
FP — GreenTech | Nordics: Strengthened climate/ESG messaging into fund-ready language.
Strategic Depth (the “hard questions” that unlock speed)
BA — FinTech | Middle East: Vision strengthened and decisions validated with data-driven guidance.
TJ — AI | Central Asia: Aligned capital strategy with milestones, GTM, and timing.
How we delivered outcomes in 2025
We grew through tightly-scoped execution—30–90 day sprints tied to the metric that matters—where advice becomes the by-product of action, not the product. And we stayed committed to our “No Gatekeepers” approach: founders grow faster when access is open, and learning loops move quickly.
Our focus for 2026
As we begin Q1, we’re committed to scaling the same mission: more market bridges (Miami → LATAM), more support for women founders, more U.S. expansion readiness, and more reinvestment.
Thank you for being part of this shared journey.
Warmly,
The GoGlobal Team
