Description

AlsoThere: A Real-World Governance Plug-In for Global Expansion. We built AlsoThere to solve a massive headache for SaaS founders and tech builders: cross-border bureaucracy. Selling internationally forces you into two terrible legacy options: blow 6-12 months and massive capital (CAPEX) setting up a traditional subsidiary, or hand your product to IT resellers who hijack customer relationships. Our innovation unbundles commercial capability (selling, invoicing, collections) from the legal burden of incorporation. Think of AlsoThere as an "Infrastructure-as-a-Service" for global expansion. We built a unified operational platform with active nodes across 43 countries in the US, EU, and LATAM. Instead of managing fragmented entities, you plug into our centralized backbone. Within 48 hours, your company can legally sell, sign contracts, and issue tax-compliant local invoices in local currencies. We integrate into your commercial flow via a Representation Agreement, an Operational Governance "Plug-In". If you land an enterprise client in Colombia or Spain, you don't need a legal team for local tax rules. We act as your authorized agent, ensuring compliance with all tax, legal, and regulatory frameworks. You convert high-risk expansion into a predictable operational expense (OPEX) while retaining 100% ownership of your sales cycle. We advocate the "Tech Partner 3.0" framework, allowing you to sell directly anywhere. An international B2B transaction has four components: contract, invoicing, payment collection, and compliance. We act as your specialized transactional layer and handle these 4 steps completely. Backed by eSource Capital Group’s 20-year track record, we’ve processed over US$250M for third parties. You focus on selling; we'll handle the borders.
