What you likely need

You're a technical founder at an inflection point — Foxglove has real traction, a strong OSS community, and a physical AI tailwind, but the next 18 months require converting that momentum into enterprise ARR and a compelling Series C story. The Festival events most valuable to you are high-trust dinners with robotics-adjacent investors and AV industry operators who can accelerate both your pipeline and your recruiting, plus positioning roundtables with other developer-infrastructure founders who've navigated the OSS-to-enterprise transition.

Would you attend these IRL Festival events?

We will tune and customize your Founder Festival experience to make sure you get invited to the events that would be most valuable to you.

fundraisingA dinner with Bessemer-backed infrastructure founders who've raised Series C rounds above $100M to pressure-test Foxglove's physical AI data platform narrative and Series C positioning ahead of the raise
hiringA happy hour targeting Waymo, Aurora, and Applied Intuition alumni to build Foxglove's structured AV-to-robotics-infrastructure recruiting pipeline and fill senior engineering roles
positioningA roundtable with founders who've built category-defining developer infrastructure platforms (Datadog, Grafana, Segment era) to workshop how Foxglove owns the 'physical AI data platform' category label before a larger competitor claims it
tacticalA dinner with founders who've converted high-volume OSS adoption into enterprise contracts — specifically those who've navigated the free-tier-to-paid motion at developer infrastructure companies — to sharpen Foxglove's conversion playbook from 1.4M npm downloads to ARR
tacticalAn office hours session with CROs and VP Sales from enterprise developer tools companies (HashiCorp, Pulumi, Weights & Biases) who've scaled from $2M to $10M+ ARR to help Adrian build the enterprise sales motion for Foxglove's robotics team conversions
tacticalA roundtable with founders who've formalized European go-to-market strategies in deep tech and robotics — especially those with Zurich or Munich traction — to help Adrian structure Foxglove's EU expansion beyond the Zurich event pipeline
positioningA dinner with high-credibility technical founders who've built developer community authority through publishing — Stack Overflow legends, prolific open-source contributors, and engineering blog builders — to help Adrian turn his 13K+ Stack Overflow reputation into a systematic content and thought leadership engine for Foxglove
introsA curated networking night connecting Adrian with robotics-focused and physical AI investors at top-tier firms actively deploying into the infrastructure layer — warm intros ahead of Foxglove's Series C process
