Pillar three · KIMA Scale

Scaling excellent companies globally.

Excellence that stays local stays small. KIMA Scale takes ripe and ready companies out of the home market — with partners who have already opened the corridor, and infrastructure that is already standing in it.

Not seed — scale

The hard part isn’t starting. It’s crossing.

A company that has found its market at home has already done something rare. Crossing into a market it has never sold in is a different job entirely: new buyers, new procurement, new delivery expectations, new hiring, new competitors who were there first.

01

Experienced partners, globally

Operators who have already opened the markets our companies are entering — not advisors describing them from the outside. Twenty years of doing this is the asset we lend you.

02

Sales and operations infrastructure

Shared go-to-market and delivery capability, so a small team can carry an international contract without breaking — and without building a second company to service the first.

03

Plug into existing scale metrics

You inherit the measures, the motions and the market intelligence that already work in the corridor, instead of discovering them one expensive quarter at a time.

Global footprint

Six market corridors, open today.

From one base in Israel into an international network we have spent twenty years building: sales agents across Western Europe, operational sites and factories across Eastern Europe, North America coast to coast with the industrial Midwest at its centre, and on into Mexico, China and Japan.

A corridor is not a list of contacts. It is a working route into a market — who buys, how they buy, who delivers, who hires, what a credible local presence looks like, and which partner opens the first door. Companies entering through KIMA Scale do not build that. They plug into it.

Twenty years of infrastructure, already standing

Agents, plants, delivery capability and buying relationships that took two decades to build. A company crossing with us inherits them on day one, instead of spending its first three years assembling them one market at a time.

The corridors

What is already on the ground.

01
Western Europe

Sales agents on the ground, country by country — people who already carry a bag in that market.

02
Eastern Europe

Operational sites and factories. Real manufacturing and delivery capacity, not a representative office.

03
United States

Coast to coast, north and south — with the industrial Midwest, Detroit and Ohio, at the centre of it.

04
Canada

The northern reach of the same North American network, sharing its agents and delivery footprint.

05
Mexico

The southern reach of the same North American network, and the route into its manufacturing base.

06
China & Japan

Market access into East Asia, through relationships built over the same twenty years.

The vehicle

Where a growth mindset becomes a scale mindset.

The Scalerator is the cohort program for companies that are ripe and ready. Four shifts, run with the operators who have already made them.

01

Excel your knowledge

Sharpen what you already know until it holds up in any market — not just the one that taught it to you.

02

Build scale engines

Repeatable sales, delivery and hiring machinery instead of heroics. What worked because of you has to work without you.

03

Learn what you did not need

The skills growth never asked of you, and scale demands from day one.

04

See it from within

How global international companies actually operate, from the inside — not from a case study about them.

Who it is for

Ripe and ready.

Companies with a product that already sells, a team that already delivers, and no more room to grow at home. Not a first cheque — a first border.

Who runs Scale

Two decades of opening markets.

KIMA Scale is led by Shadie Bisharat — a serial entrepreneur, lecturer and investor working across strategic management, global sales and organisational transformation, including growing ARKAL from $40M to $130M.

Around him sits the wider bench: the faculty, mentors and venture factory partners who teach the sessions, coach the cohorts and open the markets.

Next step

Scaling is a conversation, not a form.

Companies do not enter KIMA Scale through an application funnel. We start with a call: where you sell today, where you are trying to go, and whether one of the open corridors is the right one.

What the first call covers

Your current market position, the corridor candidates, what infrastructure you would be plugging into, and whether the Scalerator or a direct market partnership is the better route.

Book a scale conversation

Tell us about the company and we will come back with the corridor question answered.

Or write to info@kimalbe.com directly. We reply within three working days.
