Entering into the US market can unlock massive growth for UK and EU AI companies, but success requires rethinking fundraising, hiring, operations, and competitive strategy before you need it.

Daniel Glazer, US Expansion Lead and Managing Partner of the London Office at the Silicon Valley-headquartered law firm Wilson Sonsini, will lead a live Q&A on launching, scaling, and fundraising in the US market.

Wilson Sonsini is a top law firm for startups and tech companies, supporting founders from early stage to public markets.

What You’ll Learn:

When to raise from US VCs—and how expectations differ
Setting up US ops: timing, location, and costs
Building your first US team and pitching effectively
Navigating the US legal landscape

Why it matters:

The US is the world's largest capital and commercial market, but UK/EU founders consistently underestimate how different the playbook is–making high-stakes decisions with low-context answers.

Wrong moves slow growth and scare off investors. The right moves position you to accelerate scale and higher valuation.

Who should join:

Founders and execs at VC-backed UK/EU companies planning or executing US expansion and/or US fundraising.

Speaker:

Daniel Glazer: London Office Managing Partner and US Expansion Lead at Wilson Sonsini.

Daniel advises UK and EU tech and life sciences companies on US expansion, fundraising, M&A, and IPOs. Wilson Sonsini has represented leading companies including Apple, Google, LinkedIn, Netflix, Tesla, and DoorDash, and has supported 2,000+ UK and EU companies across their US lifecycle.
