What you likely need
You're at the inflection point where Podium's AI ARR story needs to translate into a public-market narrative and durable enterprise revenue — the events that matter most are the ones that put you in rooms with late-stage and crossover investors, IPO-ready operators, and the YC alumni network you can convert into customers and channel partners. A secondary thread worth pulling: formalizing your angel activity into a syndicate while your operator credibility is at its peak. Festival events built around pre-IPO mechanics, AI-native GTM leadership, and SMB SaaS positioning will compound the most for you right now.
