Dreaming of making it in Silicon Valley is one thing. Actually doing it is another. Want to know what it really takes?
SF Tech Week is all about ambition, and we are bringing together the people who have successfully navigated the jump from the Nordics to the Bay Area. This isn't about theory; this is real talk from successful founders and investors who are ready to share their hard-earned experience with the next generation of Swedish startups.
If you are a founder looking to break into the US market, avoid the classic pitfalls, and build the right network, this is the most valuable room you can be in this week.
