What you likely need
You sit at the intersection of exited founder and active pre-seed GP, so the highest-value gatherings will be small, curated rooms of technical AI-native founders and fellow emerging fund managers. Prioritize events that give you deal flow at the earliest stage and peer conversations with other post-exit founders and Coolwater-cohort GPs. Skip generic networking — dinners and roundtables with a specific thesis fit your Founder Index approach best.
