Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to attend all the stated events?

No, you should stay flexible and prioritize what you need to.

Can I arrive and leave on different dates?

We will prioritize companies that can stay the whole month. However, if you wish to arrive earlier and stay later on your own, other companies may do the same, and you're welcome to do so.

What stage of company should my company be at?

Stage doesn't matter. If you're still very early, Silicon Valley could be where you seed and grow. If you're much later stage, Silicon Valley could be your gateway to your US expansion.

I want to fundraise from the US, will this be for me?

The most important thing is you should have enough runway to consider options. You shouldn't be running out of money and treating this as a way to get a bridge. Generally speaking, US VC money will also be interested if you have a US business. Even if you're thriving in your home country, you would need to be prepared to have no interest from some of the VCs you'll meet.
