We're based in Ireland and provide a 'white label' / custom branded online ordering system for restaurants.<p>Our growth rate has been around 10% week on week recently. Here is a graph showing weekly food sales and revenue in more detail: http://www.getflipdish.com/flipdish-images/sales-201612.jpg<p>We plan to raise a further round of funding and relocate to the US in 2017.<p>We would like feedback on which investors and VCs would be a good match for us, when we're doing about €60k - €100k/mth revenue. We're at €12k/mth now.<p>We will probably be too small at that point to talk to a lot of the big name VCs that we hear about over here, but aren't familiar with investors who seek to work with companies at this stage.<p>Any advice from our US HNers would be very welcome!<p>conor@getflipdish.com
Why the hell are you moving to the US?<p>Are you looking for capital? You can get that in Europe. Are you looking for a larger market? You should be looking in Europe.<p>By moving to the US your going to create an amazingly complex tax and business situation that will just make things harder for you not easier. Hell most US companies want to MOVE some or part of their operations TO Europe for tax reasons.<p>After you capture DE, FR, the whole of the UK, AUS, and ZA then think about the US and think about going to Canada first.

Use that cash in hand to develop the product for the Germany/Austria region.<p>Same currency, (almost) same timezone, same taxes, and a 85 Million people market; plus you can also make a dent in the Swiss market later.<p>For the US market, you won't have language problems; buy will havo to localize for (local) sales taxes, etc.
Beside the number of restaurants, did you guys look at the competition in the US? What would make you guys successful here? Who are the big players in that space in the US? Seems like a lot of companies have already covered that space.
