What you likely need
You co-founded one of the defining developer-infrastructure companies of the last decade, but your current public profile doesn't reflect that — Festival events should help you reconnect with the SendGrid and Twilio alumni network, formalize your angel investing lens around dev-tools and API companies, and rebuild your founder presence in rooms where that exit carries real weight. The highest-leverage gatherings for you right now are intimate dinners with other infrastructure founders and seed investors who back developer-tools, where your SendGrid story opens doors immediately.
