Do you guys find that some of the investors you are talking to are interested in companies outside of the US?

For instance, there are some famous VCs (A16Z come to mind) that only want action in US-based companies.

How are you guys tackling this issue?

Great question. We have a variety of investors committed to demo day, most of which are in the US. It seems to be based on investor preference / education about how to invest overseas, etc. Our role in this is building the network and then letting investors select what types of companies they are interested in funding.

A16Z don't like non-US companies? They thought Skype was "US enough" then?
