In2America House - US Fundraising and Expansion: Open Q&A with Daniel Glazer from Wilson Sonsini

​Join us for lunch to unpack what it really takes for UK and European tech companies to compete - and win - in the US.

​The American market offers unmatched access to capital, customers, talent, and scale, but success is far from guaranteed. Expanding successfully requires far more than simply opening an office and hiring a salesperson.

​Hosted as a candid, facilitated lunch discussion with Daniel Glazer, London Managing Partner and US Expansion Lead at Wilson Sonsini, this session will explore what US investors, partners, employees, and acquirers actually expect from international companies and where founders most commonly get it wrong.

​We’ll cover topics including:

​When to establish US operations
⏳ The real timelines and costs of expansion
📄 The Delaware Flip - when, why, and how to do it properly
💸 Whether you need a US entity to raise from US investors
🤝 The differences between UK/EU and US fundraising environments
👥 Hiring and managing US talent from overseas
⚠️ The legal and operational traps founders consistently underestimate
🌎 How to prepare properly for cross-border growth

​This is designed for founders, operators and VC's who want practical insight, honest conversations, and direct access to people who have helped scale some of the world’s most successful technology companies into the US.

​Wilson Sonsini has represented more technology companies in venture financings, IPOs, and M&A transactions than any other US law firm - making this a rare opportunity to hear directly from one of the most experienced teams in the ecosystem.

​If the US is on your roadmap, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
