What you likely need

You are a serial founder with a unicorn exit under your belt (Nowports at $1.1B valuation) and a fresh stealth AI startup (Arkimedes) targeting private equity. Your YC W19 pedigree and $242M+ fundraising track record are major credibility assets as you raise for the new venture. The immediate priority is converting your strong founder brand into early traction and funding for Arkimedes.

Are these your current priorities?

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.

  • fundraisingLeverage your YC W19 network and Nowports unicorn story to close a formal seed round for Arkimedes beyond the initial $2M, targeting top fintech/enterprise SaaS investors who back AI-for-finance tools.
  • tacticalSign 3–5 private equity firms as design partners for Arkimedes before your next raise to demonstrate product-market fit and generate case studies that de-risk the investment thesis.
  • introsTap the YC alumni network (W19 batch + YC Growth S20 cohort) for warm introductions to PE-adjacent investors and potential enterprise customers in the financial services vertical.
  • tacticalFormalize your transition from COO to Board Member at Nowports with a clear governance structure so your time and attention can fully shift to Arkimedes without operational distraction.
  • positioningPublish thought leadership on AI for private equity workflows on LinkedIn and relevant PE forums to build inbound interest in Arkimedes and establish yourself as the category expert.
  • positioningReactivate your GitHub presence with open-source tooling or demos related to Arkimedes' AI stack — your account has been dormant for 6+ years, which undercuts your technical credibility signal.
  • introsUse your Endeavor Board seat to connect with high-growth founders in LatAm and globally who may be portfolio companies of PE firms — potential Arkimedes customers and evangelists.
