What you likely need
You're at a rare inflection point — navigating a dual CEO/Executive Chair role at a $3B developer-tooling company while quietly building an investing platform through Hill 88, and the best Festival events for you sit at the intersection of IPO-readiness, institutional LP development, and DevOps founder deal flow. Dinners with pre-IPO CFOs, growth equity investors, and public-market analysts will sharpen your S-1 narrative and liquidity strategy, while roundtables with technical angel funds and Harvey Mudd alumni will help you formalize Hill 88 into a credible institutional vehicle. You'll get the most signal from small, high-trust rooms where your unicorn-founder credibility opens doors rather than needing introduction.
