What you likely need
You're at a pivotal post-Demo Day window where the right rooms can accelerate your seed close and sharpen your category positioning before momentum fades. Festival events that put you in front of YC alumni angels, CRM-adjacent investors, and design-forward enterprise buyers will move the needle fastest right now. You also need a founding engineer and a louder public voice — so gatherings that surface technical hiring leads and push your 'agentic system of record' thesis into the right ears are equally high-leverage.
