What you likely need
You're at an inflection point where Agora's Optimism Collective traction needs to translate into a Series A and a roster of major protocol clients — the right rooms can compress that timeline dramatically. Festival events that put you in front of Founders Fund and SoftBank-connected investors, Clearco alumni, and protocol founders will do the most work. You also need to hire fast and sharpen your public voice on onchain governance, so gatherings that surface senior engineers and give you a stage alongside credible web3 operators are high-leverage right now.
