What you likely need
You're a serial AI/ML founder with a quiet exit and deep computer vision chops, now at Apple — which gives you credibility but risks letting your founder identity go dark. The Festival events most valuable to you are ones that help you publicly re-establish your founder narrative, find a technical co-founder before you leave Apple, and get warm intros to seed investors and accelerator insiders who reward exactly your background.
