What you likely need
You're a serial founder with one successful exit (StreamOne to 24i) and a current early-stage venture in Lont with minimal funding so far. Your primary challenge is raising meaningful capital to grow Lont beyond its current micro-seed stage, while leveraging your deep video-tech expertise and industry network built over two decades.
Are these your current priorities?
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.
- fundraisingPursue a formal pre-seed or seed round for Lont — your exit track record with StreamOne is a strong signal for investors and you currently have only $80K raised.
- positioningLead with your StreamOne acquisition by 24i as proof of founder-market fit in video tech when pitching investors and enterprise customers.
- introsRe-engage Capital-E, who led Silicon Line's Series B and have you listed as a member, as a potential lead or warm intro source for Lont's next round.
- introsActivate your On Deck ODF10 cohort network for co-founder leads, early customers, and warm investor introductions.
- tacticalPush public code or open-source tooling related to Lont's GenAI video stack to GitHub — your account has been dormant and active public repos build technical credibility with investors and recruits.
- positioningLaunch Lont on Product Hunt to generate early traction signals, press coverage, and inbound interest from potential enterprise customers and investors.
- hiringWith only 3 employees, prioritize hiring a first go-to-market or sales hire who can own enterprise pipeline while you focus on product and fundraising.
