The US boasts 10 million companies and 330 million customers eager for innovative products. But for many foreign companies, it is a black box: When and where do you start? Who can you turn to for help?

In this panel, we discuss tips, strategies, and lessons learned for building your customer base, fundraising, and finding success in the US market.

To drive our discussion we’ll bring together: 1) a Swedish- American business network supporting soft landings; 2) a global VC that provides its companies capital and industry linkages; 3) an advisory firm specialized in growth hacking US sales, and 4) a Swedish start-up that has successfully made the leap across the pond.
