Getting APAC Right Starts with the Right Questions

APAC isn’t one market. It’s a patchwork of economies, each with its own rules, buying habits, and risk profile.

Treating the region as a monolith is the fastest way to waste time, burn resources, and miss your window.

Success depends on sequencing. Which markets first? How fast? How much time on the ground?

Should you deploy a fractional team locally, or operate centrally with regional support?

There’s no universal playbook - but there is a right fit for your product, your distribution model, and how you win trust in new markets.

At First Light, we help vendors navigate these choices with a proven framework, built on real experience.

We support leaders making serious moves, not just checking boxes.

The Benchmark: 20–25% of Revenue from APAC

Enterprise tech vendors serious about global expansion should aim to generate 20–25% of total revenue from APAC over time.

A solid milestone on that journey is reaching 10%.

Getting there requires more than intent. It demands the right markets, the right entry strategy, and the right team to execute.

That’s where we come in.
