US Expansion for UK/EU Tech Companies: Navigating Capital, Compliance, and Competition (For London founders with > $2M ARR)), Daniel Glazer, Wilson Sonsini
For many UK/EU tech companies, the US offers an opportunity to access increased capital, commercial opportunities, and organizational rigor. However, successfully competing with US companies in their home market requires a willingness to re-evaluate many aspects of a UK/EU tech business. In this facilitated Q&A session led by Daniel Glazer, London Office Managing Partner and US Expansion Lead at Silicon Valley-headquartered Wilson Sonsini, we will discuss what it takes for a UK/EU tech company to compete and win in the US and to meet the expectations of US investors, commercial partners, employees, and acquirors.
Topics may include:
- When should we look to raise money from US VCs?
- How do US VC expectations differ from those of UK/EU VCs?
- Do US VCs require a US company to fund a UK/EU business?
- When is the right time to establish a US subsidiary and US-based operations?
- Does UK/EU management need to move to the US?
- Where is the best place to set up in the States?
