What you likely need
You're a serial founder with a unicorn exit and YC pedigree launching Codistry into a crowded AI coding tools market, so the highest-leverage Festival events for you are small, high-trust rooms that convert your SmartAsset story into investor credibility and warm intros to seed-stage AI backers. You also need focused positioning sessions to sharpen Codistry's developer persona and tactical build-in-public moments that drive GitHub and Product Hunt traction. Rounding that out, dinners that tap your YC S12 cohort and BITKRAFT network will unlock the enterprise pilot customers and fundraising momentum Codistry needs right now.
