What you likely need
You're a serial technical founder actively shipping code and leading Apollo GraphQL, a growth-stage developer infrastructure company. Your public profile is strong on the builder side but lacks visible fundraising narrative and press coverage that would amplify your reach. Strengthening your public signal around Apollo GraphQL's traction and your own thought leadership would meaningfully increase inbound opportunities.
Are these your current priorities?
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.
- fundraisingPublish Apollo GraphQL's funding history and milestones publicly (e.g., via a blog post or Crunchbase update) so investors and partners can find verified traction data.
- positioningLeverage the Inc5000 #912 ranking with a press release or LinkedIn article to convert that growth signal into inbound enterprise pipeline.
- tacticalOpen-source a core Apollo GraphQL utility or tutorial repo and drive GitHub stars — your current top repo has 0 stars, which undersells your builder credibility.
- positioningDouble down on the Apollo MCP Server launch momentum with a Product Hunt listing to capture the AI-API orchestration audience and build a public upvote record.
- introsEngage the YC alumni network (9,000+ founders) through YC's Bookface or events to source enterprise design partners for Apollo GraphQL's federation product.
- positioningPublish technical content (blog posts, YouTube videos, or HN Show HN posts) about GraphQL federation and AI-API orchestration to build thought-leadership and inbound developer adoption.
- hiringUse the Inc5000 ranking and Apollo MCP Server launch as hiring hooks to attract senior engineers excited about developer infrastructure at a proven growth-stage company.
