What you likely need
You're at a pivotal inflection point with Honeylove — past early-stage but not yet at the scale where the next round is a foregone conclusion, so the highest-value events for you are rooms that sharpen your fundraising narrative and open doors to growth-stage capital. Your YC S18 network and DTC operator peers are your most underleveraged assets, and curated dinners with the right founders and investors will move the needle faster than cold outreach. You'd also benefit from intimate sessions focused on international scaling and the founder-wellbeing tradeoffs that come with running a 10-year-old company alongside a parallel creative career.
