What you likely need
You're a post-exit technical founder with deep OSS and profiling credibility, now building expertise in agentic AI observability at Grafana — the events that will move the needle most are ones that sharpen your next-company narrative and put you in rooms with YC alumni, angel co-investors, and developer-tooling founders. You'd benefit from small, high-trust dinners where you can workshop your acquisition story and agentic AI wedge thesis with people who've been through similar transitions. Tactical gatherings around OSS growth, technical writing, and angel deal flow will compound your positioning as you approach whatever comes after Grafana.
