What you likely need
You're a McKinsey Associate Partner and active EMEA angel investor with real exits (Eventtus→Bevy) and a sharp AI/ML background, but your portfolio is largely invisible to the founders and co-investors who should be finding you. The Festival events most valuable to you are ones that get your track record in front of the right people — top EMEA founders, fellow McKinsey/BCG/Booth alumni angels, and platform leads at AngelList or NFX who can amplify your deal flow. You'll get the most out of small, high-trust rooms where you can workshop your public investment thesis and formalize co-investment relationships with peers operating at your level.
