Questions

Hi! We are building a webapp that will revolutionize the productivity market. We have deployed an MVP and received seed investing for 50K USD. In order to take out app to the next level we will need to raise 500K. We are from Buenos Aires, Argentina, and raising that sum at reasonable equity here is difficult for start ups. So we are thinking of going to Silicon Valley in 3 months to pitch VCs find the right investing. My questions are: 1) Is it difficult for somebody who comes from Argentina to be funded by VCs in Silicon Valley? 2) What do you suggest in terms of scheduling meetings? 3) How should we aproach the VCs and get in touch with them, rather than just google them and send emails to their offices? Thanks for your help!

Its possible to get funded. I'm from Colombia moved to SF and was able to raise $1M. Actually wrote a full post about it here: https://medium.com/startups-academy/11-hacks-to-get-meetings-with-investors-in-silicon-valley-14b4851ab3e8
