What you likely need
You're one of the rare founders who has actually built and scaled a public infrastructure company, which means the most valuable Festival moments for you are rooms where that credibility compounds — intimate dinners with board-ready operators, co-founder-to-Co-Chair transition conversations, and seed-stage deal flow circles where your operator stamp carries real weight. You'll get the most signal from small, high-trust gatherings that help you formalize your investing identity, deepen your Atlassian and WEF ecosystem relationships, and think clearly about your next chapter on your own terms.
