What you likely need
You're a four-exit founder running a well-funded robotics-AI company at a critical commercial inflection point, so the highest-value Festival moments for you are small, high-trust rooms where you can pressure-test Aescape's unit economics story with growth-stage investors, open enterprise wellness partnership doors through your WPP and media network, and quietly rebuild your engineering bench. You'll also benefit from founder-to-founder sessions on navigating post-layoff culture recovery and from positioning conversations that turn your serial-exit track record into a more visible public signal.
