What you likely need

You need events that put you in front of early-stage European and transatlantic investors who respect a clean exit story, so you can convert your StreamOne-to-24i track record into a credible pre-seed or seed raise for Lont. Roundtables and dinners that mix ODF10 alumni, video-tech operators, and GenAI infrastructure founders will help you find a co-founder, first GTM hire, and warm capital introductions simultaneously. Tactical sessions on open-source credibility and Product Hunt launch strategy will sharpen the signals investors and enterprise buyers see before they ever meet you.
