What you likely need

Charles is a proven serial founder with two notable exits — including the $210M Zynga acquisition of OMGPOP — and deep YC roots spanning nearly two decades. His current 'tbd' status suggests he's between ventures, making this an ideal moment to sharpen his next thesis and leverage his network. His angel investing activity is real but underdeveloped publicly, and formalizing that side could open new doors.

Are these your current priorities?

We will tune and customize your Founder Festival experience to make sure you get invited to the events that would be most valuable to you.

positioningPublicly announce your next venture or project — your 'tbd' status leaves your network guessing and reduces inbound deal flow and co-founder interest.
introsTap your dual YC alumni status (S06 and W23) to get warm intros to current YC partners and batch founders who could co-found or advise your next company.
positioningFormalize and publicize your angel investing activity — a curated portfolio page or AngelList profile would surface your Atrium LTS and other investments and attract co-investment opportunities.
tacticalPush public code more frequently — your last GitHub commit was over 7 months ago, and consistent public shipping reinforces your builder credibility for recruiting and fundraising.
positioningWrite a long-form retrospective on the OMGPOP journey from YC S06 to the $210M Zynga exit — this kind of founder narrative drives inbound from investors, press, and potential co-founders.
fundraisingGiven your track record of two acquisitions and two YC batches, prepare a concise fundraising deck now so you can move quickly once your next idea crystallizes.
wellbeingPost-exit and post-Storyboarder transitions can be disorienting — your LinkedIn posts hint at some restlessness, so consider connecting with a founder peer group or coach to stay grounded.
