International Entrepreneurs

iconcatib International EntrepreneursAs a North American with a business in France I’m often asked about the trend in French entrepreneurs leaving France to set up their businesses in other countries… mainly in the United States. This is what sparked my interest in international entrepreneurs. This is a series on international entrepreneurs who may not be well known but who have interesting stories behind their international success and relevant today.

I would love to hear how these people inspire you – please leave a comment below.

If you know of any international entrepreneurs you would like to see here, leave me a note below or on Twitter @CindyKing.

Fabrice Grinda

Fabrice Grinda is a wonderful way to start off this series. I hope you take the time to read his story and listen to the interview mentioned in the post.

What is the free international web marketing strategy mentioned?

  • Free classified ads

Through Fabrice’s latest company OLX, you have a realistic opportunity of reaching countries like India, where mobile phones are popular, and also many South American countries where OLX is interfaced with the local social media platforms. This is important in cultures with strong Collectivism cultural profiles.  This means it really is worthwhile spending the time to come up with a free classified ad marketing strategy with OLX in these cultures.
