For many startups the dream is to go to the US to grow their business.

Mitchel Lake, a company that has always been supportive of the local tech startup scene, is running an event called “Coming To America” on October 15th. It’s all about connecting Australian based entrepreneurs who are thinking about heading over to San Francisco with Aussies who have been there and have relevant, meaningful experiences to share.

It will be an interactive session between attendees in both Sydney and San Francisco.

Many of the guys on the panel have not spoken to or engaged with the community in Sydney previously so it will be a good chance to get some new insights.

According to Mitchel Lake Managing Partner, Phaedon Stough, the Sydney audience will be made up of a mix of angel investors, VC’s, experience entrepreneurs and startups.

The San Francisco Panel will include

• Ben Keighran from BluePulse
• Matt Symons from Accenture
• Ryan Junee from Google (ex Omnisio)
• Tristen Langley from Southern Cross Venture Partners
• David Cannington from Sensear

The event’s not free but there are discounts for entrepreneurs and students. Also, I’ll be there on the day, so make sure you come up and say “Hi”
