Who should join a Cities trip?
Cities are for ambitious founders and leadership teams who are: - Scaling internationally or planning to expand beyond Europe - Fundraising or planning to raise from US/international investors - Building in sectors central to the trip theme (e.g., AI for SF; fintech for London) - Seeking ecosystem insights on how leading tech hubs operate differently than Europe. This isn't for early exploration—it's for founders ready to act on what they learn. For more information please email: nadia@techleap.nl
