What you likely need
You're a serial founder with a technical background building at the intersection of AI and the future of work, currently in stealth with GrupaAI after growing Grupa.io to $1.5M ARR with a tiny team. Your next big unlock is likely fundraising and strategic positioning — connecting with investors who back AI-native infrastructure and autonomous-work platforms, and finding co-founders or early hires who've scaled similar products. Events that put you in rooms with AI-focused seed and Series A investors, Berkeley SkyDeck alumni, and other technical founders building in the autonomous-work space would be highest-leverage right now.
