EVENT SUMMARY You didn't move halfway across the world to get tripped up by Delaware vs New York and C-Corp vs. LLC decisions. Join Acclime and Herrick for a no-BS lunch session where legal, tax, and market-entry experts break down exactly what international founders get wrong in their first 12-24 months stateside—and how to fix it before it costs you a round. FULL DESCRIPTION The U.S. is the biggest market in the world, and the easiest place to make a six-figure mistake before you've closed your first customer or investment round. Entity structuring that triggers double taxation. IP ownership gaps that spook investors. Hiring decisions that create liabilities you didn't know existed. Most international founders don't discover these landmines until they're already expensive to unwind. This Lunch & Learn at Herrick's Murray Hill offices brings together the legal, tax, and cross-border specialists who clean up these messes daily—except this time, they're helping you avoid them entirely. The conversation is built around real scenarios founders face in months 1–24: where to incorporate, how to handle global IP, what U.S. tax exposure actually looks like, and how to structure governance when your team spans three countries. Intimate format. Actual experts. Lunch is on us. If you're an international founder building in or expanding to the U.S., this is the most valuable hour of your Tech Week.
