This chapter uses qualitative case analysis of a single case technology commercialisation organisation and their experience in entering 2 new world markets: Philippines' and Brazil. These two markets have been selected as they are focussed on energy securitisation, have a distinct business culture related to venture capital investment and the behaviour of VCS, and are currently commercially attractive and interested in international investment and new technology market development (Broad, & Cavanagh, 2011; Castells, 2011). This chapter reports on data focused on investment activity within the technology market in Brazil and the Philippines and cultural factors that affect investment and market entry specific to these markets. The chapter integrates the cultural issues of each destination with current literature and develops a checklist of actions related to each market destination. The chapter aims to assist with the success of attracting investment, sales growth and performance in the new market and enhance profitability of the venture. The chapter will offer specific actions related to the entry and investment in each market and contribute to international marketing knowledge. This chapter offers a new transcultural marketing perspective on international venture capital exploring and learning from these 2 diverse new world markets. The lessons learnt from each market create a shared and advanced outlook on seeking successful venture capital in newer global markets (Broad, & Cavanagh, 2011).
