About this simulation

Exec-band simulation in which Carmen Ferreira-Aldama, CGO of a Series-B B2B SaaS firm, has 48 hours to choose between Singapore, Australia, and Tokyo as the FY26 APAC wedge — and to defend the choice to lead investor Daniyar Akhmetov-Park on warrant rather than on TAM. Three rounds: the wedge thesis, the wedge plan, and the lead-investor memo.

Teaches CAGE-distance discipline, the wedge-as-curriculum frame (Birkinshaw subsidiary mandate), three GTM-motion archetypes, partnership posture, and the falsifiable signal with costed off-ramp. Anchored by Atlassian, Slack, Zoom, Salesforce, HubSpot, and Snowflake APAC-wedge precedents.

Who it is for

An advanced simulation for participants used to working with the main frameworks and trade-offs of the subject, designed for executive education and experienced professionals.

How a session runs

  1. The instructor creates a session from the Eureka dashboard and invites the participants.
  2. Participants play 3 rounds. In each one they submit their decisions and the simulation calculates the results.
  3. The simulation can be run in English, Español.
  4. The instructor follows each participant's progress and results from the dashboard, and uses the class results for the debrief.

Decisions participants make

The decisions participants make during the simulation:

  • APAC Wedge Market
  • Warrant — the dimension your choice rests on
  • CAGE diagnostic — did you weigh the distance?
  • GTM motion — months 1 to 6
  • Partnership posture — committed bandwidth
  • In-region headcount at month 6 (target: 12)
  • 18-month wedge investment, € millions (envelope: 4.5)
  • Memo paragraph 1 — the opening
  • Rejection block — what you are NOT doing, and why
  • Off-ramp — the costed condition for course-correction
