Raising $500K to open in New York: Oracley's US Expansion Plan

Amy Maxwell is raising $500K to open Oracley's first studio in New York, with five more planned after that. This episode is the middle of it; the raise, the leases, and the costs she didn't see coming. She walks us through how she chose New York over the West Coast, what a US lease demands from a foreign founder with no credit score, and why she stopped chasing VCs and went looking for a different kind of investor entirely.
