/ About this event
What does it really take to build a company in the US when you are also navigating the personal realities of arriving in a new market?
Join an intimate conversation with a founder who moved to the US and built their company here. We will go beyond the usual startup success story: entering a new market, earning early customer trust, building a network from scratch, hiring, fundraising, navigating uncertainty, and learning how the US startup ecosystem actually works.
This will be a practical, honest founder conversation—not a legal briefing. Immigration will feature only as part of the broader story of what it takes to establish yourself and scale a business in the US.
Why the founder chose the US and what they underestimated before arriving
> The first 90 days: customers, community, co-founders, and credibility
> Fundraising and building investor relationships as a newcomer
> Hiring the first US-based employees
> Lessons for founders deciding whether, when, and how to expand
> The personal resilience required to build across borders
