As part of Launch Week for the NYC AI Landing Pad, we’re excited to host an International Founders & Funders Happy Hour, co-hosted with Lightspeed.
This gathering brings together international founders and investors for an evening focused on what it takes to build and scale across borders — from entering the U.S. market and establishing a New York presence, to navigating fundraising, hiring, partnerships, and long-term growth strategy.
We will be joined by the inaugural NYC AI Landing Pad cohort: growth-stage AI founders building companies with $5–75M+ in revenue and/or funding, visiting from countries including the UK, Canada, Spain, France, Singapore, and the UAE.
What you can expect:
🍸🥂 AMA with a Partner from Lightspeed, followed by a Happy Hour reception hosted at Lightspeed’s NYC office
💬 High-signal conversations on U.S. expansion, market entry, and scaling globally
🤝 Meaningful connections between international founders and funders shaping the next wave of AI
🔥 Candid founder-to-founder insights on what it really takes to build across markets
Spots are limited. Only approved attendees will be allowed through security.
