What you likely need
You're a YC W21 founder at a pivotal pre-Series-A moment, and the Festival events that will move the needle most are small, high-trust rooms where you can sharpen your fundraising narrative, get warm intros to HR-tech-focused growth investors, and build the public founder brand that enterprise buyers and VCs both need to see. You'll also benefit from peer gatherings with other seed-stage founders navigating the same team-scaling and sales-hiring crunch, so you can pressure-test decisions without burning political capital inside Spokn.
