What you likely need
You'd get the most out of Festival events that help you sharpen your founder identity and decide what to build next — dinners and roundtables where your Scale AI pedigree and one clean exit open doors rather than go unnoticed. Warm-intro gatherings with Cornell CS alumni and LatAm ecosystem builders would let you leverage two underused networks simultaneously. Tactical sessions on OSS visibility and public writing would accelerate the audience-building work that turns your GitHub depth into inbound co-founder and investor interest.
