What you likely need
You're a deeply technical ML/AI builder with real CTO and research credentials that your public profile currently undersells — Festival events that put you in rooms with YC founders, open-source ML communities, and biometric/identity infrastructure investors will help you close that gap fast. The highest-leverage moments for you are ones where you can demo or discuss adversarial ML and face anti-spoofing work in front of people who can amplify it, co-found with you, or fund what comes next. Clarifying your XIX.ai founder story in the right rooms could be the unlock that reframes your entire trajectory.
Would you attend these IRL Festival events?
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.
- introsA YC W26 founder dinner connecting you with Traverse and other solo technical founders exploring AI and data research lab formation, to pressure-test whether your adversarial ML and biometric research background is the right foundation for a new venture
- tacticalAn HN r/MachineLearning open-source build night for active GitHub contributors to workshop repo revival strategies and co-promote projects like SotA-CV to push past the 200-star threshold and grow beyond 103 followers
- positioningA YC founder positioning roundtable for CTOs-turned-founders to workshop how to publicly document and narrativize a four-plus-year biometric identity provider story — like XIX.ai / Entry IdP — for fundraising or a new venture launch
- positioningA technical publishing workshop for ML researchers with dormant public profiles to turn existing expertise — adversarial attacks, face anti-spoofing, computer vision — into HN-front-page blog posts and notebooks that drive community attention
- fundraisingA seed and Series A investor dinner focused on biometric authentication and identity infrastructure, where your four-plus years as CTO of XIX.ai gives you immediate credibility to explore what a future fundraise or spin-out could look like
- positioningA YC alumni dinner for engineers and researchers who made the leap to co-founder, to help you resolve the public CTO-vs-researcher ambiguity around XIX.ai and claim the founder narrative your LinkedIn and YC blog post currently leave on the table
- tacticalA computer vision and adversarial ML expert happy hour for practitioners with deep publication records but low Stack Overflow presence, to coordinate a reputation-building sprint answering questions in CV, adversarial ML, and biometric authentication
