In this highly interactive presentation, Joanne Fedeyko will draw on 25 years in Silicon Valley and more than a decade helping international founders access the U.S. market. She’ll share an honest, practical view of what Silicon Valley can offer, what it can’t, and what founders need to consider before investing their time, money, and energy there. Come ready to engage and bring the questions you’ve been circling. What we'll explore: What Silicon Valley can offer your business, beyond capital How to determine whether it is the right market and ecosystem for you The signs that your company is ready, and the signs that it may be too soon Whether U.S. investors, customers, and strategic relationships make sense at your stage How to prepare now, even if Silicon Valley is not yet on your immediate roadmap This session is valuable for founders with a product in market who are considering U.S. expansion, investment, customers, or strategic relationships. However, earlier-stage founders are also encouraged to attend.
