Made it in America with Ulrik Hansen and Nick Rajpal (Encord)

​Following on from our London-based Coming to America series, we’re launching Made it in America, a GBx series spotlighting founders who have made the leap to the US and are now building on the ground.
In candid fireside chats, founders will share what the first months (or years) have really been like: the challenges, the wins, the unexpected lessons, and practical tips for those who’ve just landed.
Designed for founders new to the Bay, these peer-to-peer sessions offer firsthand insight to help navigate the transition and supercharge your startup

For our first session, we’re delighted to welcome Ulrik Hansen, President and Co-Founder of Encord, alongside Nick Rajpal. Encord recently announced a $60 million Series C, marking an exciting new chapter in the company’s growth.

​Encord is a platform that helps enterprises manage and optimise data for multimodal AI. Ulrik began his career in J.P. Morgan’s Emerging Markets team before moving to the US to grow Encord. Nick made the move alongside him to scale the company’s US revenue function.

​Together, they’ll bring both founder and operator perspectives to the conversation, sharing what it took to establish Encord in the US, build its commercial presence and scale the company from the ground up.

​This event is kindly supported by our friends at the CLA.
