What you likely need
Your Festival events should focus on closing the gap between your strong private track record and your thin public founder signal — you've built and raised real things, but investors can't easily verify them yet. The highest-leverage gatherings for you involve hardware-to-AI founder circles where your Nixie Labs and Google AI background are directly legible, and robotics/embodied AI networks where your Kind Humanoid connection gives you a warm entry point. You'd also benefit from rooms where press, narrative-building, and angel syndicate formation are the explicit agenda.
Would you attend these IRL Festival events?
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.
- positioningA hardware-to-AI founder dinner for founders who've raised seed rounds in wearables or IoT — where you can surface the Nixie Labs $5M raise and Intel Make It Wearable Grand Prize win as part of a structured founder story-sharing format
- introsA humanoid robotics happy hour anchored by founders and operators in the 1X Technologies and Kind Humanoid orbit, where your existing advisor/investor relationship opens warm co-founder and advisory conversations in embodied AI
- positioningA roundtable for current and former Google AI researchers making the transition to founding — where publishing technical writing on arXiv or Google Research Blog is workshopped as a credibility-building tactic alongside your peers
- introsA dinner for early-stage operators and advisors formalizing their angel identity — structured around joining AngelList syndicates or building a trackable deal record, directly relevant to legitimizing your Kind Humanoid investor role
- fundraisingA small workshop for stealth founders preparing their first public announcement — press strategy, TechCrunch cold outreach, and blog post framing — timed for founders who've already raised but haven't yet surfaced their round publicly
- tacticalA tactical half-day sprint with a small group of technical founders to claim and update Crunchbase profiles, activate public GitHub repos, and audit their investor-facing digital footprint — directly addressing your Nixie Labs indexing gap
- fundraisingA deep-tech founder dinner for IBM and Google alumni who've spun out startups, where your combined hardware (Nixie Labs) and AI research background positions you as a credible voice and surfaces warm intros to seed-stage deep-tech investors
