The Houston - Hong Kong Startup Connection

Houston is a bustling hub of startup activity and ranked No. 10 among the major U.S. metro areas with the highest rates of startup formation.  On the other side of the globe, Hong Kong is ranked as No. 29 in the Global Startup Ecosystem 2020 Report by the Startup Genome and a leading international financial hub for sources of funding.   With both cities booming as startup hotspots, how can Founders tap into the potential for growth in these markets?
