What you likely need
You're a domain-expert angel with a real exit and a focused AEC portfolio, but your deal flow and co-investment network aren't yet scaled to match your edge. Festival events that connect you with YC alumni, Sequoia scouts, and fellow construction-tech operators will sharpen your sourcing and syndicate story. The highest-leverage gatherings for you right now are ones where your PlanGrid credibility does the talking and founders or LPs self-select toward you.
