No Filters, No Fluff: A Straight - Expanding/Raising in the US

Description

This is your chance to ask the questions most founders and leaders usually keep to themselves.

Join Daniel Glazer, London Office Managing Partner and US Expansion Lead at Silicon Valley-headquartered Wilson Sonsini, for a completely open, no-holds-barred facilitated Q&A discussion. He’ll take you from fundraising realities and term sheet traps to scaling challenges, exits, governance, and the legal grey areas no one talks about—nothing is off the table.

No polished panels. No rehearsed answers. Just honest, practical insight from the people who see behind the scenes of some of the world’s most ambitious companies.

Bring your toughest questions but be ready to listen and learn what really happens as businesses grow, raise, and evolve.

Who Should Attend

  • Founders and scaleup leaders navigating growth or investment
  • Operators and leadership teams making high-stakes decisions
  • Investors and advisors wanting a candid view of common pitfalls
  • Anyone who prefers real talk over generic advice

What You’ll Get

  • Straight answers to the questions you don’t usually get to ask
  • Insight into real-world deals, challenges, and mistakes
  • Greater confidence around legal, commercial, and strategic decisions
  • A clearer understanding of what good (and bad) looks like as you scale
  • Practical takeaways you can apply immediately to your business
