What you likely need
You're a repeat technical founder with deep Google/Alphabet credibility building something significant in stealth — the right Festival events get you in front of cybersecurity-focused Series A investors and senior security engineers before you formally surface. Your Chronicle and Google TAG pedigree is a rare signal that opens doors, so the highest-leverage gatherings are ones where that background is the entry credential, not a footnote. Prioritize events that help you sharpen your public narrative, source warm investor intros through your alumni network, and build developer community signal ahead of launch.
