What you likely need
You'd get the most out of Festival events that put you in rooms with early-stage founders actively searching for a revenue co-founder or fractional sales leader, since your Box-to-Intercom-to-Envoy operator arc is a rare and legible signal. Events that sharpen your second-company thesis and connect you with NextView and Expa portfolio founders would accelerate both your advisory pipeline and any future raise. You'd also benefit from build-in-public and content-focused gatherings where enterprise SaaS operators are sharing playbooks, since that's the fastest way to turn your $1M–$150M ARR pattern recognition into inbound deal flow.
