What’s in it for you

U.S. Investor Pitch Deck Readiness
Developed specifically for startups preparing to fundraise in the United States, our U.S. Investor Pitch Deck Readiness service transforms your existing pitch deck into a presentation tailored to American investor expectations. Our team at the GACC New York reworks your deck in terms of content, structure and narrative to meet the standards of the U.S. venture capital market. The service includes U.S. specific market sizing (TAM/SAM/SOM), a competitive analysis focused on the U.S. market and two rounds of feedback.
U.S. Company Incorporation
The Legal Department of the German American Chamber of Commerce, Inc. in New York assists German startups and companies with incorporating branches and subsidiaries in the United States. Our bilingual team advises on the right corporate structure for your business, guides you through all registration and filing procedures, and supports you with visa and employment law requirements.


Virtual Office in New York City
Often, the key to a company’s long-term success in the U.S. market is its local presence. In order to reduce your financial risk, we offer our Virtual Office Services. Your company receives an official business address at the German American Chamber of Commerce office located in the Financial District in New York City (120 Wall Street, 20th Floor) with an individual phone number. Employees of our Consulting Department take care of your correspondence and answer your calls. This allows German startups to build a credible U.S. presence before establishing a physical office.
