Purpose: This paper investigates how a firm may innovate its business model to internationalize. Design: Due to its novelty and to the depth of the investigation required to grasp the mechanisms and logics of business model innovation aiming at internationalization, a single case study has been performed related to a company located in North-Western Colombia. Findings: We provide detailed empirical evidences over the mutual connection and complementarities among value mechanisms of business models. Moreover, our study suggests that BMI fosters internationalization to scale, which in turn will require additional changes to match new customer needs as they emerge. Also, the study shows an extension of the action-space of Lean Startup Approaches, intended as scientific approaches to international entrepreneurship. Originality/value: This study connects business model innovation and internationalization as few studies have done before.
