For Helm Members (founders) only!
Summary:
For many UK companies, the US offers an opportunity to access increased capital, commercial opportunities, and organisational rigor. However, successfully competing with US companies in their home market requires a willingness to re-evaluate many aspects of a UK business.
In this intimate dinner led by Daniel Glazer, London Office Managing Partner and US Expansion Lead at Silicon Valley-headquartered Wilson Sonsini, we will discuss what it takes for a UK company to compete and win in the US and to meet the expectations of US investors, commercial partners, employees, and acquirors.
Wilson Sonsini has represented more tech companies on their venture financings, M&A transactions, and IPOs than any other law firm globally. The firm is a Silicon Valley "anchor tenant," having taken public Apple, Doordash, Google, Linkedin, Lyft, Netflix, Palantir, Roblox, Square, Tesla, Twitter, and many others. Wilson Sonsini’s integrated US/UK team in London has supported 2000+ UK/EU tech and life sciences companies during their US life cycle – US launch and scaling, US fundraising, and US M&A/IPO exit.
