What you likely need
You're at the inflection point where your technical credibility needs to translate into enterprise pipeline and Series B momentum, so the highest-value Festival events for you are intimate dinners and roundtables that surface warm intros to growth-stage investors and DevOps enterprise buyers. Your YC S21 and S19 network is an underutilized asset — small-batch alumni gatherings where you can trade notes on Series B prep and VP of Sales hiring will compound fast. Lean into events where your SRE background and Canva/Grammarly/Ford logos make you the most credible person in the room.
