## Description
An evening for AI founders on what actually breaks when scaling beyond the home market: GTM, growth, payments, and the messy parts most decks leave out.  
AI companies are moving faster than ever, but going global is still hard.  
From choosing the right market and building a repeatable GTM motion, to acquiring users across regions, setting up payment infrastructure, and scaling from early traction to global growth, many AI startups hit real bottlenecks when expanding beyond their home market.  
Hosted by the Seamate founder community with Antom, this is a working evening for founders and operators in the middle of that problem: practical lessons, honest conversation, and a room worth staying late for.
