/ About this event
Some of the world’s most consequential companies were built by people who started somewhere else.
They arrived with a suitcase, a company, a big idea — and almost no idea who to call.
A founder from Mumbai figuring out San Francisco. Someone from Beijing building their first US network. A founder from Shanghai learning how business gets done in America. A Latin American founder finding their first customers. A European founder figuring out when to move, and when not to.
The stories are different. The challenges are surprisingly the same.
NO BORDERS brings together founders who have already made the move, founders preparing to make it, and the investors, operators and ecosystem builders who help them get there.
Think of it as a founder-to-founder exchange — the conversations you wish you could have had before landing in America.
What should you know in your first 100 days? Who should you meet? What should you do differently? When should you actually relocate? How do you build a network when nobody knows your name yet? And what does it really take to go from “I’m thinking about the US” to “we’re building here”?
No panels. No pitches. No stage.
Just recently migrated founders swapping notes with veterans who've already fought those battles — and founders helping founders.
Different cities. Different accents. Different stories. One common experience: starting over in a new market.
If you've crossed a border to build a company, you're thinking about crossing one, or you're backing founders who do — this is your room.
FOOT SOLDIERS WANTED.
Come for the stories. Stay for the introductions. Leave with a few people you can actually call.
Location and further details will be shared upon approval.
