What you likely need
You need Festival events that convert your YC S24 credibility and ML depth into seed capital and key intros before the data center AI wave crests. The highest-leverage gatherings for you are small rooms with infrastructure-focused VCs, data center developers, and YC alumni who can de-risk your solo-founder status through warm referrals or a co-founder match. Events that sharpen your Cliff narrative and separate you from the generic AI-for-real-estate noise will compound directly into both fundraising and hiring momentum.
