What you likely need
You're at an inflection point where your brand-building credibility needs to convert into institutional fundraising momentum for Madefor and a more formalized investor identity. The highest-value Festival events for you combine warm intros to digital health and wellness-focused institutional funds, peer founder tables where your authentic mental health narrative lands as a differentiator rather than a vulnerability, and small rooms where you can recruit a clinical or technical co-founder for Madefor. You'll also benefit from tactical gatherings with pre-IPO angel investors who can help you think through how to maximize and position a Liquid Death exit.

- fundraisingA dinner with 5-6 founders-turned-micro-VCs who formalized their angel activity into named syndicates or funds (Sahil Lavingia's Gumroad fund, Immad Akhund at Mercury, Jack Altman) to map the exact steps Blake needs to convert his ~10-company angel portfolio into a structured vehicle with deal flow in fashion, biotech, and digital health

- wellbeingA curated dinner of 8-10 high-profile founders who are publicly open about mental health and founder loneliness — modeled on the Junto peer-group format Blake has credited publicly — combining genuine peer support with the kind of authentic vulnerability-as-brand conversation that strengthens both We Are Enough and Madefor's positioning
