Founding in Europe 🇪🇺: US Flips
A US flip looks simple from the outside. You create a Delaware Inc, swap shares, and you're a US company now with EU roots and all.
Although it's rarely that clean. Before the mechanics matter, there's a more basic question: do you actually need this? Some companies genuinely do, while others are told they do and end up paying for a structure that never served them.
Jason Kreps and Steve Dickinson from Clark Hill will walk through how to think about it before you commit, drawing on years of work with European founders and German counsel.
Why founders set up a US entity and what it actually unlocks, when a flip is necessary and when it isn't, what raising capital out of a Delaware corporation looks like in practice, hiring and incentivising US employees once you're there, and how to sequence the whole thing so it doesn't turn into a mess.
This will be an online webinar with 45 minutes of content, 15 minutes of live Q&A.
