What you likely need
You're a unicorn co-founder whose institutional profile at Go1 far outpaces your personal technical presence, so the highest-leverage Festival events connect you with late-stage investors for Series E conversations and secondary liquidity while building your identity as the definitive technical voice in enterprise L&D. Events that surface your YC S15 pedigree and Morgan AI work to senior engineers, edtech founders, and AI infrastructure builders will unlock hiring and advisory deal flow that your current footprint leaves untouched. The right rooms will also help you carve out a distinct co-founder narrative — separate from Andrew Barnes — so investors and partners understand exactly what you built at scale.
