What you likely need
You're a solo founder-coach with a real exit story and deep VC-adjacent relationships that are undermonetized at the institutional level — the right rooms can help you close portfolio coaching contracts and productize your IP. Events that put you in front of GPs at Lightspeed, Index, and Founders Fund, or alongside other coaches and content creators who've scaled beyond 1:1, will move the needle fastest. You also have a genuinely differentiated niche in co-founder conflict and leadership burnout that deserves a public platform, and Festival can help you find the collaborators and press hooks to build it.
