GoGlobal. Where visionary founders become global leaders.
Our Principles & Working Model
Beyond Capital—Your Strategic Partner for Global Growth
At GoGlobal, we partner with founders and corporate innovators who share our values and are ready to execute. We’re selective by design, working with only a handful of clients each year to deliver meaningful, measurable results and long-term relationships.
​
Our Principles
​
Leadership First
We back decisive, values-driven leaders and teams. Strategy follows leadership—not the other way around.
Independent & Actionable Advice
We tell you what you need to hear, not what’s comfortable. Every recommendation maps to clear actions, timelines, and owners.
Innovation & Adaptability
Markets move; so do we. We continuously test, learn, iterate, and help you stay ahead of industry shifts.
Client-Centric by Design
No templates. Every engagement is tailored to your goals, stage, and resources—founder time is our scarcest KPI.
Global Perspective
Headquartered in Miami with strong presence in Istanbul and Los Angeles, we operate across the USA, UK, Türkiye, Israel, and MEA—turning cross-border complexity into opportunity.
Collaboration & Community
We unlock value through curated introductions—investors, partners, customers, mentors—and foster a trustworthy founder community.
Transparency & Integrity
We operate with discretion, data, and straight talk. Clear scopes, clear fees, clear outcomes.
Impact with Responsibility (ESG)
We prioritize economically, socially, and environmentally responsible growth. Better companies build better societies.
​
Who We Partner With
​
-
Tech founders & operators preparing for the next stage (capital, scale, or international expansion).
-
Corporate innovators seeking startup partnerships, venture building, or market entry programs.
-
Mission-aligned investors pursuing quality deal flow and cross-border opportunities.
​
We are sector-agnostic (SaaS, fintech, healthtech, mobility, climate, edtech, etc.) and bias toward teams with global ambition and execution discipline.
​
Our Working Model - Growth-Scale-Expansion
​
1. Discover & Fit (Week 0–1)
30-minute discovery → mutual fit check → scope & success metrics defined.
Output: Engagement brief with goals, constraints, and decision timeline.
2. Diagnose
Investment Readiness Report or Expansion Readiness Report (as applicable): product, GTM, unit economics, narrative, data room, market selection.
Output: Gap analysis + priority roadmap (90-day plan).
3. Design
Co-create strategy: market entry, partnerships, pricing, hiring, GTM motions, capital strategy.
Output: Executable blueprint with milestones, owner(s), and weekly cadence.
4. Activate
Warm intros (investors, partners, customers), pilot design, proof points, PR/BD sequencing, term-sheet readiness.
Output: Meetings on calendar, pilots signed, pipeline dashboard.
5. Capital & Partnerships
Curated investor pipeline, narrative refinement, data-room polish, partner negotiations, soft-landing setups.
Output: Qualified capital conversations and signed MoUs/LOIs where relevant.
6. Review & Compound
Monthly/bi-weekly working sessions, KPI tracking, risk management, and iteration.
Output: Progress reviews, decision logs, and next-step acceleration.
We keep the client list intentionally small (typically 3–4 companies a year) to stay hands-on and accountable.
​
How We Measure Success
​
-
Traction: revenue growth, signed pilots/partnerships, market entry milestones
-
Capital: investor quality, speed to close, terms that support scale
-
Resilience: improved unit economics, governance, and leadership capacity
-
Impact: ESG alignment, talent development, and community value
​​
Engagement Formats
​
-
Advisory Retainer: high-touch, sprint-based collaboration (recommended for founders).
-
Project Sprints: focused deliverables (e.g., readiness report, market entry plan, investor narrative).
-
Board-Level Advisory: independent perspective for leadership and governance.
​​
Confidentiality, NDAs, and conflict checks are standard. We maintain independence in all recommendations.

Empowering Innovation:
Esra Talu's Vision for a Connected Startup World
At the heart of GoGlobal lies a story of ambition, innovation, and the relentless pursuit of connecting the world through technology. I am Esra Talu, the driving force behind this vision, bringing over two decades of experience in the startup and e-commerce arena.
My entrepreneurial spirit was first ignited in Turkey with the creation of Deppo, the country's pioneering e-commerce company. This experience laid the foundation for my journey into advising and guiding startups across diverse sectors globally. Since 2000, residing in Miami, my work has spanned advising corporate firms, investors, and institutions, with a focus on startup ecosystems in the USA, UK, Turkey, Israel, and the MEA.
Founding GoGlobal in 2019 was a natural progression of my passion for fostering technology-driven solutions and enabling startups to reach their full potential on a global scale. My expertise in sectors like healthtech, fintech, and edutech, along with a deep understanding of various startup ecosystems, drives GoGlobal's mission to facilitate access to critical resources for growth and expansion.
As the author of Breaking Boundaries: How I Built a Startup and Paved the Way for Others, I explore the intricacies of Turkey's tech evolution and share my own entrepreneurial journey. You can read more about my story and insights in the eBook, now available on Amazon.
When not strategizing for GoGlobal's next move, I enjoy connecting with the tech community through my writings, speaking engagements at Tech Summits, and podcast appearances. At my core, I am a devoted mother, balancing the demands of leadership with the joys of family life.
Welcome to GoGlobal, where each connection is a step towards a more innovative and interconnected world.
