What you likely need
You're a solo technical founder with YC S22 pedigree and strong OSS credibility, so the highest-leverage Festival events for you are small-table dinners and roundtables that put you in front of seed-stage investors who already understand data infrastructure. You also need to close the co-founder gap fast, making hiring-focused gatherings with other YC alumni a near-term priority. Content and positioning events that help you turn your ML and data-lineage expertise into public signal will compound your fundraising and hiring efforts over time.
