Global Founder Meetup: Breaking Into the U.S. Market - #NYTechWeek
Are you building a startup outside the U.S. and considering the American market?
Do you have traction abroad and want to pilot, sell, fundraise, hire, or scale in the U.S.?
Are you looking for the right strategy, network, and partners to enter the U.S. well?
Join Build Momentum and Holland & Knight during NY Tech Week for a curated evening bringing together international founders, investors, operators, and expert partners focused on U.S. market entry.
The U.S. can be a major growth opportunity, but it gets complicated quickly. Product positioning, go-to-market strategy, cultural context, partnerships, banking, legal setup, fundraising, and the right local network all matter early.
We’ll kick off with a short fireside conversation between Build Momentum and Holland & Knight, covering tactical lessons and best practices for entering the U.S. market, including product, GTM, partnerships, legal considerations, and common mistakes international founders should avoid.
Then we’ll open it up for a lively Q&A, so founders can bring real questions and get practical answers from people who understand the expansion journey.
After that, we’ll move into drinks and curated networking.
