What you likely need

You'd get the most out of Festival events that put you in the room with open-science infrastructure builders, ML/NLP practitioners, and academic-to-industry crossover founders who can turn your deep LaTeXML and arXiv work into visible credibility. Small technical roundtables and 'Show HN' prep sessions would help you convert years of quiet infrastructure impact into a public profile commensurate with your actual reach. Warm intro dinners connecting you to Hugging Face researchers, arXiv leadership, and PhD-to-founder alumni would accelerate both your academic finish line and your OSS growth.

Would you attend these IRL Festival events?

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.

introsA dinner for founders and researchers building open-science infrastructure — arXiv, Semantic Scholar, OpenAlex, PubMed Central alumni — where you can trade war stories on large-scale scientific document pipelines and surface ar5iv.org to the people most likely to cite, fund, or collaborate on it
positioningA roundtable with Hugging Face dataset authors and ML/NLP practitioners who work with scientific text, to workshop releasing your MathML tokenization datasets and LaTeXML-derived corpora in a way that lands on the HF trending page
tacticalA tactical 'Show HN' prep workshop with founders who have hit the HN front page with OSS infrastructure projects, helping you craft the ar5iv.org and LaTeXML launch posts that convert real-world impact into GitHub stars and followers
positioningA dinner for European PhD-to-founder crossovers — especially FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg and TU Munich alumni — who have navigated finishing a dissertation while shipping production OSS, to pressure-test your path to formalizing your research credentials
tacticalA happy hour for OSS maintainers who have scaled npm packages from sub-5K to 100K+ monthly downloads, focused on the exact README, documentation, and discoverability moves that grow a technical niche package like mathml-tokens into a go-to ML/NLP dependency
introsAn office hours session pairing deep scientific-document NLP researchers — people working on formula recognition, LaTeX parsing, and math-aware language models — with ML engineers at labs like Allen AI, EleutherAI, and Hugging Face who need exactly the pre-trained models and tokenization tooling you are sitting on
positioningA roundtable for high-output OSS contributors whose GitHub commit graphs far outpace their follower counts, workshopping concrete Bluesky, Twitter, and conference talk strategies to build a public following commensurate with infrastructure projects at the scale of LaTeXML and ar5iv.org
