Beyond Borders with Rippling, Corgi and Frontline Ventures
Beyond Borders: How to Scale Sustainably in the AI Era
Going global used to mean months of legal paperwork and a small fortune before you’d made a single international hire. AI has changed that equation, letting founders move in days instead of months. But speed was never really the hard part, the harder questions are strategic.
Join speakers from Rippling, Corgi and Frontline Ventures over breakfast as they unpack what it actually takes to expand and scale successfully across borders in the AI era.
You’ll leave with:
When international expansion actually makes sense, and how to sequence your GTM right
What to rebuild, automate with AI, or hire for as you break into new markets
How to build your brand, and know your expansion is working before over-investing
Speakers:
William McQuillan (Partner @ Frontline Ventures)
Conor Tobin (Head of UKI Startup Sales @ Rippling)
Josh Shih (Head of Underwriting @ Corgi)
Moderated by: Tiara Sadikin (Partnerships @ Rippling)
Agenda:
8:30 – Breakfast
