The CIC Soft Landing Program helps international entrepreneurs enter the US market through Miami, teaching them the fundamentals to getting started in the US, and helping them branch into relevant cities. The virtual program takes place over the course of 2 weeks (2 hours per day) and is focused on helping founders understand the cultural differences and practical steps of doing business in the US. The agenda includes market overviews, storytelling through pitching, market hacking, legal and tax overviews, raising capital and more. Entrepreneurs should apply online, and after a selection process they will be notified if they are approved for the program.  Join us to learn more about this opportunity, directly from its founder Julia Lucidi.
