• Finance 💵 – working with banks, understanding accounting differences, considerable taxation issues
• Operations 🏢 – employment, immigration, parent-subsidiary contracts, significant differences in how companies operate, working with lawyers, accounting firms, auditors, etc.
• Governance 🏛️ – boards, controls, regulations, shareholder rights (major differences between LT and US governance culture)
• Raising funding in the US 📈 – understand the hard requirements. GUEST: New North Ventures – concentrated Masterclass in VC – behind the scenes of how VC funds operate, funds are raised, who are GPs, LPs, and other roles in the funds, what is expected of investment performance
