SUMMARY:Founders Across Borders: Why Global from Day One (and what that means)
DESCRIPTION:​Most founders treat “going global” as a milestone they’ll deal with later. By the time they get there\, the product\, the team\, and the company are already built around one market — and changing that is expensive\, sometimes impossible without starting over.\n​This session makes the case for the opposite approach: building global from day one\, before you think you need to. \n​What you’ll learn: Why “initial market” is a more useful mental model than “home market”\, and what changes when you adopt it. | ​How product\, team\, and culture decisions made in the first few months determine how hard international expansion will be later. | ​The legal and entity structure decisions that are nearly impossible to undo once made. | What fundraising looks like when you’re building for multiple markets from the start. | ​A worked example of a company that built global from very early — and what it cost them. \n​Who should attend: ​Early-stage founders who suspect international expansion is in their future\, even if it’s not imminent. | ​Founders who have already made early decisions (team\, tools\, entity structure) and want to know what to revisit before it’s too late. | ​Anyone building a company they don’t want confined to one market. | ​You’re still working full-time\, curious\, with an idea you haven’t committed to yet.
