What you likely need
You're a unicorn-stage founder-CTO navigating the shift from developer-tool platform to agentic AI infrastructure, and the highest-leverage events for you are small, high-trust rooms where you can sharpen your 'APIs in the agentic era' narrative alongside other technical founders and cloud ecosystem decision-makers. You'd benefit most from curated dinners that accelerate deep cloud-partnership intros (Azure, Google Cloud), peer roundtables with other 1,000-person-company CTOs who've solved the executive-delegation problem, and tight angel syndicate sessions to formalize your developer-tools deal flow. The Festival's value for you is access and candor — rooms where your Postman scale is a credential, not a conversation-stopper.
