I consider the ability of the founders to build business internationally as a litmus test. Those founders that were looking to Malta to validate their international growth potential, I feel always struggled. Whereas those founders that used Malta as an operations base, but who already disposed of an international network or client base, usually fared much better.
For those aspiring founders that do not have a working model for building internationally I would suggest to spend 2-3 years working alongside a person with an international profile and pick up methodologies for business development
