What you likely need
You'd get the most out of Festival events that activate your YC W21 network for co-founding leads and angel deal flow, since your exit credibility is your strongest asset and peer warm intros will move faster than cold outreach. Events that put you in rooms with open-source and observability founders, AI dev-tools builders, and early-stage investors would let you sharpen your Cursor-era GTM narrative while quietly building a public investing track record. Roundtables and intimate dinners where you can share the Pyroscope-to-Grafana Labs acquisition story will do more for your positioning than any LinkedIn post alone.
