Cracking the US Move: A Founder’s Playbook

​Hi Founders 

Thinking about building your US presence? You don’t have to figure it out all alone.

​We’re bringing together a small group of early-stage SaaS founders for an in-person roundtable with Vivek Ravishankar, CEO of HackerRank — someone who’s built across India and the US and knows precisely how complex, tactical, and personal that journey can be.

​Whether you’re trying to find your first few U.S. customers or figuring out where your family should live — this session is about making the move work, across all dimensions.

​A big thank you to Oloid for supporting this event.

​We’ll cover:

• ​Presence: What a “US-ready” website, pitch, and public image really look like.

• ​Networks: Breaking into founder/investor circles that operate on trust

• ​Sales: How to run founder-led sales until you hire a VP

• ​People Moves: When to relocate core team members — and how

• ​Family: Schools, housing, credit cards, and everything else no one tells you

• ​Org Structure: What to keep in India, what to shift, and how to hire locally

• ​Visas: What works, what’s painful, and which law firms are worth it

​This won’t be a lecture — it’ll be a working session with honest stories, lived experiences, and a few practical tools you can take back to your own journey.
