Beyond the US: How top startups are rethinking structure, talent, and regulation for global scale
In 2026, international expansion isn’t just about "opening an office"- it’s about navigating a new era of AI regulation, capital efficiency, and talent mobility.
Join Wolf & Company and Blick Rothenberg for a private breakfast on April 22nd designed for founders and operators who are ready to look beyond the US.
This is an intimate strategy session focused on the blueprint for global growth. We’re bridging the gap between US ambition and UK execution, covering everything from initial GTM customer acquisition to the tax and legal structures that safeguard your company’s long-term trajectory.

2. Architecture for Global Scale
The Structural Choice: Subsidiary vs. Branch vs. Hybrid - what actually works now?
IP Protection: Navigating IP strategy in an AI-first world.
3. Tax, Capital & Founder Risk
