Events that put you in front of bulge-bracket bankers, food conglomerate corp-dev leads, and founders who've navigated the public markets transition will be highest-signal for you right now. Peer dinners with other mission-driven unicorn CEOs will also help you sustain the long-game leadership this next chapter demands.
