Scaling Strategy Breadth • Looking for partners with whom we can access new markets and further our goal of increasing access to affordable glasses (wholesale channel, partner channel, new markets in our internal network) • Finding the right partners in the right regions Depth • Optimizing our performance in existing distribution channels: improving our product portfolio, inventory management, marketing strategies, and strategic partnerships with local clinics and hospitals. VisionSpring’s strategic challenge is to evolve from a current 20/80 cost coverage structure to an 80/20, and eventually a for-profit model in order to efficiently reach our target market of 400 million people at the Base of the Pyramid
