/ About this event

Ready to conquer the U.S. market? Join us October 6 for an intensive afternoon built for international Series A+ founders and scaling into the US, hosted by JP Morgan Global Passport, Deel & Orrick.

You’ll get practical insight from leaders who have scaled companies from startup to IPO, alongside focused workshops on the realities of U.S. expansion: talent, compliance, capital, and banking. The program will include an opening Firepower session, founder workshops, and candid fireside conversations with founders who have made the leap.

J.P. Morgan, Orrick, and Deel bring the full expansion playbook: banking and treasury, legal strategy, and global talent, payroll, and compliance.

Featured speakers include Joe Kauffman (CFO, Deel; former CEO, Credit Karma), Mitch Zuklie (Chairman, Orrick), Ashraf Hebela (Co-Head, Technology Banking & Head of Startup Banking, J.P. Morgan), and Barry O’Brien (Head of Global Passport Banking, J.P. Morgan), plus founders sharing lessons from the trenches.

Decades of collective insight. One afternoon. A practical playbook for scaling into the U.S.

This event is part of #SFTechWeek, a week of events hosted by VCs and startups bringing together the technology ecosystem. Learn more at www.tech-week.com.
