\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Raising venture capital in the US is becoming a strategic option for many fast-growing German tech companies: At $15 billion, venture capital and private equity investments from the US in Germany in the first quarter of this year alone are already three times higher than in the previous two years. And a presence in one of the US tech centers, such as Silicon Valley, is an important milestone on the growth path for many fast-growing German tech companies.<\/p>\n

What \u201cflipping\u201d and a \u201cSilicon Valley story\u201d have to do with each other<\/h3>\n

The guide explains where and how to attract US investors and highlights the key differences between financing rounds in Germany and the US. Another point is the advantages and disadvantages of flipping a German GmbH into a US company, often a cornerstone in developing a successful "Silicon Valley story."<\/p>\n

In creating this guide, the Orrick team from offices in D\u00fcsseldorf, Munich, Silicon Valley, San Francisco, New York, Santa Monica, and London drew on the experience gained from advising more than 1,600 tech companies worldwide, as well as the world's leading venture and private equity investors. Founded in San Francisco, near Silicon Valley, Orrick is one of the world's leading tech law firms.<\/p>\n
