Welcome to the latest issue of the Global Class’ Growth Strategies newsletter - a series of articles, podcasts, and updates to help you succeed in scaling to new markets.

As always, if you found this content valuable, tell your friends to subscribe to the?bi-monthly newsletter here.?It's the best way to share relevant content with those who are facing challenges in their global growth initiatives.

We hopped over to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil this week to attend Web Summit Rio 2023 and rub shoulders with other people and companies redefining the global tech industry.

Klaus B?rme Wehage ???? moderated a panel on startup success and scaling with? Marc Penzel ( Startup Genome ),? Gerry Giacomán Colyer ?( Clara ), and? Gina Gotthilf ?( Latitud ).? Aaron McDaniel ?had a great conversation with? Dan Westgarth ?about? Deel 's keys to successful global growth. Both Klaus and Aaron made great connections in Rio and built the foundation for a successful book launch in Brazil.

The Global Class book, a WSJ bestseller, aims to localize for growth-minded Brazilian startups key insights on the mindset and strategies of the world’s most successful companies.

In this special newsletter edition, we relive key moments that will shape the Global Class book’s Portuguese translation, slated for 2024. They are the following:

1?? David Vélez , Founder and CEO at Nubank , the biggest fintech in LATAM,?will be featured?in Global Class book’s Portuguese translation alongside best-in-class Brazilian entrepreneurs and scaleups, such as Gympass and Kavak.com .?

2?? Ricardo Amorim , listed by Forbes as Brazil’s most influential economist and #1 LinkedIn influencer in LATAM, agrees?that Brazilian companies need to build for global scale?and not just local opportunities.

3?? Economia SC ?features Aaron and Klaus in an exclusive interview?that highlights the newly-released Global Readiness Score. In the article, founder & Editor-in-Chief Ana Paula Dahlke asks how Brazilians can improve on their global competitiveness.

Aaron’s and Klaus’ participation at Web Summit Rio arrives on the heels of Global Class’ new release of the?Global Readiness Score, an organizational analysis tool designed to help founders, CEOs, and executive teams better understand the organizational gaps that can prevent their organization from being successful in global markets.
