15. Expansion Plan

Strategic roadmap for scaling MeetingMeter beyond US mid-size companies (100-1,000 employees), focusing on geographic replication, adjacent segments, and model diversification after core PMF.

1. Expansion Readiness Assessment

Recommended Timing: Post-PMF (Month 6: 100 paying teams, $15K MRR, >35% D30 retention). Core US validation playbook must be documented for replication.

Unit Economics	🟡 Pending	LTV:CAC >3:1	$4-12/user/mo; CAC <$100 via content/viral
Operational Processes	🟡 Pending	Scalable systems	Automated onboarding, Stripe global

Phase 2: EU Localized (Months 11-14)

Germany, France: Large mid-size firms, GDPR-ready
