What's the best way for an international founder with no context in the US to fundraise?

Is your company based in the us? If not, which country?

Korea - but we can flip to delaware c corp if needed. Most of our users are in the US tho.

That might be wise. Many (potentially most) US investors are cautious about investing in companies domiciled outside US jurisdiction. It adds significant complexity to the deal.

Web3 until now has been a bit of an exception to that.

Hope this is the case. It's hard to know where to start without any academic/work background in the US tho 😅

Yes I understand this - we'll talk to Korean VCs as well. But was wondering if it would make sense for US firms to invest without deep understanding of our team's backgrounds - even with decent traction mostly coming from the North America.

That makes it more difficult as well frankly. I know it’s hard, but it might be worth investing more time on raising money in Korea first. Most companies I know of do that before fully expanding into the U.S. and pursuing money from U.S. investors.
