Our services.

We are happy to help you take your first steps in the DACH market expansion.

Market research

We help you understand the DACH market before you invest too much too early. We study your product-market fit with market research and competitor analysis, help you define the offering to fit the local positioning, and guide you to turn early expansion questions into practical next steps.

Outreach & Sales

We help you reach the right companies in the German-speaking market - whether you are looking for partners, distributors, or first customers and sales. From targeting and messaging to outreach support, we help turn visibility into opportunities through effective outreach campaigns.

Funding

We help you identify relevant public funding, such as national funding instruments or EU funding opportunities, and support your growth with practical guidance through the application process. The goal is not funding for its own sake, but funding that supports real progress.

"Working with Shaping Diamonds has been extremely smooth, and the results have exceeded even our boldest expectations across every metric. The collaboration feels like working as one team alongside great colleagues."
