What you likely need
You'd get the most out of Festival events that put you in front of institutional crypto-focused VCs who respect repeat founders with clean exits, and warm rooms where your BTCC story and Stanford pedigree do the heavy lifting before you say a word. Structured intros to Stanford Mayfield Fellows network and co-investment roundtables would help you formalize your angel activity into a real syndicate. Tactical gatherings around Bitcoin adoption and book-to-product conversion would let you turn your existing audience into Ballet customers and investors without building from scratch.
