What you likely need
You'd get the most out of Festival events that put you in the same room as semiconductor-focused VCs and hardware-native enterprise buyers who already speak your language. Roundtables and dinners built around AI-enabled procurement and chip supply chain are where you can establish ChipHub as the category leader while quietly running a fundraise. Tactical sessions on syndicating angel deals in the semiconductor and cloud-native space would also let you formalize the investing edge you've already been building.
