Going to America: U.S. Expansion & Fundraising

WSGR

Event Description

For many high-growth enterprises, there’s nowhere better to start and grow than the UK, and nowhere better to expand and raise later stage funding than the United States.

The U.S. offers the promise of massive commercial opportunities and plentiful venture and growth capital. However, doing business and raising money in an unfamiliar, highly competitive environment requires thoughtful advance planning and clinical execution. 

In this facilitated Q&A session, we will discuss best practices for launching and operating a UK business in the U.S., as well as setting expectations for later stage funding.
