What you likely need
You're at a pivotal inflection point — fresh off a $50M Eclipse-led Series A and scaling Jetson fast, the Festival events that will move the needle most are ones that put you in the room with climate-focused growth investors before you formally kick off your Series B process. You also need warm paths into Google's sustainability and hardware orgs, and a VP of Engineering who can own technical scaling while you stay heads-up on strategy and fundraising. Rounding that out, a tight peer group of founders who've navigated the big-company-to-startup reentry will help you stay sharp through the chaos.
