Account freezes, KYC triggers, unclear invoicing rules, and payment platforms that flag you for no obvious reason. This is a closed, small-group session for founders navigating exactly this. No talks, no slides. You submit your question in advance, and we go through every single one live with the LedgerLine team and Payoneer's team in the room to answer. Who should join Non-US founders selling to US customers, or about to invoice their first US customer Founders who've hit a payment/banking snag (frozen account, KYC hold, unclear rail) and haven't gotten a straight answer Early-to-growth stage you don't need a US entity yet to attend this one What to expect A small room (not a stage event): everyone gets a turn Submit your question when you RSVP; we'll also take live follow-ups Direct answers from LedgerLine (compliance/entity side) and Payoneer (payment rails side) not generic advice Snacks, goodies and networking after Event flow Intros: quick round, name + what you're building Q&A: submitted questions answered live, open floor for follow-ups Snacks + mingling Seats are limited to keep this a working session, not a crowd.
