Coming to America: Practical Advice about Expanding to, Fundraising, and Planning an Exit in the US.

As part of our Tech Tour Deep Tech Programme we are organizing a deep dive session with our partners from Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati on the topic: Coming to America: Practical Advice about Expanding to, Fundraising, and Planning an Exit in the US.

We are delighted to invite you to join the discussion.

DATE: 15 December 2021

TIME: 17:00-18:30 CET

SESSION’S DESCRIPTION

For many deep tech enterprises founded in Europe, it makes a lot of sense to expand and/or raise later-stage funding in the United States. The U.S. offers the promise of massive commercial opportunities, cooperation partnerships and plentiful venture and growth capital. However, doing business and raising money in an unfamiliar, highly-competitive environment requires thoughtful advance planning and clinical execution.

In this facilitated presentation and Q&A to follow, we will discuss best practices for navigating the logistical aspects of launching and operating a European-born high-growth business in America and setting and meeting expectations for U.S. later-stage funding. We will also touch upon trends in the rapidly evolving U.S. exit market. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic and its associated uncertainty, exit activity remains strong and is expected to continue. The IPO market is busy, with new trends emerging with alternative paths to IPO (such as SPACS), and the M&A market has resumed in earnest.
