AMCHAM Brazil — Channel Partner
A channel partnership that distributes Startup Diagnostic as market-entry intelligence for companies exploring Brazil and broader LatAm expansion.
AMCHAM Brazil is a high-activity cross-border trade organization with a broad network that includes multinational operators and Brazilian companies expanding internationally.
Its members repeatedly faced the same challenge: obtaining structured, defensible intelligence for market-entry and category-expansion decisions without standing up bespoke diligence workflows.
Product distribution: Startup Diagnostic packaged for market-entry and market-exploration use cases with unchanged five-day methodology and Teixeira Framework recommendation language.
AMCHAM sales channel: AMCHAM sells directly to member and non-member organizations as an upsell inside existing intelligence and advisory programming.
Delivery structure: AMCHAM handles distribution; Arkus retains delivery responsibility and executes every Diagnostic. Partner commercial terms are handled in partner materials, not published.
Comped access: AMCHAM leadership receives Insider-equivalent access for internal use.
The partnership embedded Arkus methodology directly inside AMCHAM's existing market-entry channel, reducing procurement friction and extending reach without additional direct-sales load. Published channel volume metrics are pending final approval.
The partnership did not create a separate product or custom methodology. The distributed offering is the same Startup Diagnostic Arkus sells directly.
This structure is intentional: channel framing changes access and context, not analytical standards or evaluation rigor.
