You're building from India while your buyers are in the US. You've sent hundreds of cold emails, landed a handful of calls, and every one ends with "let's circle back next quarter." We've all been there!
Selling into the US from India means earning trust without a local brand, local references, or a local team, across a 10-hour time difference.
Which is why we're bringing together this roundtable with two founders who've done it, selling to one of the toughest buyers there is: sales teams.
-
Sudipta Biswas, co-founder of Floworks (YC W23), which builds AI sales employees for B2B teams. The venture-backed road.
-
Saurav Gupta, founder of SalesRobot, an AI-powered LinkedIn outreach tool. The bootstrapped road.
Same milestone. Two very different playbooks.
We'll discuss
-
Breaking into the US from India: landing first customers, building trust signals, and whether you need people on the ground.
-
Finding the ICP that actually pays before you scale outbound.
-
Channels and pricing for US buyers: what compounded, what burned cash.
-
VC-backed vs. bootstrapped: how the funding call shaped hiring, pace, and the road to $1M.
Format- 2.5-hour roundtable- 12 founders- Chatham House rules: what's shared in the room, stays in the room.
Who this is for
-
AI-native founders
-
$0-500K ARR
-
Selling to US customers, or building toward your first ones
Why attendMost US GTM advice comes from founders who moved to SF and had a network from day one. This is two founders who built with teams in India, on two different routes, comparing notes on what actually got them to $1M ARR and what they'd undo.
