A Night with Techstars: Bridging NSW & USA
🌎 An Evening with Techstars: Bridging NSW and USA
This isn’t your average panel night. It’s a behind-the-scenes look at how global expansion actually happens.
If you are a founder serious about expanding to the US or an investor curious about building a cross-border portfolio, this is an event you won’t want to miss. We are bringing together top-tier founders, venture capitalists and industry experts for an unfiltered evening of insight, strategy and real talk.
At the heart of the night is our Rolling Panel, a dynamic, fast-paced format where speakers rotate in and out, creating sharp, honest debates between VCs and the founders they chose to back (or didn’t). You’ll hear directly from founders who’ve made the leap to the US, how they landed their first customers, what nearly broke them, and what they’d never do again.
And we’re not just talking theory. This is where you’ll learn the actual pitfalls, playbooks, and decision-making frameworks that make or break global expansion.
💥 Learn how to win your first U.S. customers
💥 Understand what investors look for across borders
💥 Hear raw stories of near-misses, bold moves, and smart pivots
💥 Build meaningful connections through post-panel speaker roundtables
🎤 More speakers to be announced – stay tuned.
