entry point
Where you begin
Entry point is where something begins or gains access.
In computing, it's the location where program execution starts or where a user first interacts with software.
In business, it's the initial opportunity to enter a market or begin a relationship: The cheap model serves as an entry point for the brand.
More literally, it's a physical location where one enters a building or crosses a border.
