If you are an Israeli startup planning to sell into the U.S. defense market, here is something most founders learn too late: your U.S. buyer cannot sign a contract with you until they can legally classify your technology under U.S. law. If you cannot help them do that, the deal stalls.

U.S. export control law has extraterritorial reach. It does not matter where you built your product. If your stack contains U.S.-origin chips, U.S. cloud services, or U.S. development tools, U.S. jurisdiction may already apply to your technology.

Patrick Gilman, Chair of the National Security Practice at Greenberg Traurig, joins CET Sandbox on June 24th for a 90-minute founder briefing on exactly what U.S. defense buyers expect you to know before the contract is on the table.

What we will cover:

• The ITAR vs. EAR divide and how to classify your own product before a buyer asks
• Why “commercial-first” tech can cross into ITAR territory the moment it touches a tactical application
• What U.S.-origin components in your stack mean for jurisdiction, even if you built everything in Israel
• What you may be signing away when your tech gets integrated into a U.S. weapons system
• Why forming a U.S. subsidiary turns the tech transfer from your Israeli parent into an import/export event

This is not a compliance lecture. It is a practical briefing on how to stay in the deal.
