What you likely need

You've demonstrated strong founder-operator credentials with a fast acquisition exit and deep enterprise AI product experience, and you're now bridging into the investment world through Stanford GSB's impact fund. Your next move likely involves deciding whether to launch another venture, deepen your investor track record, or leverage your unique operator-investor hybrid positioning to raise a fund or join a growth-stage firm.

Are these your current priorities?

We will tune and customize your Founder Festival experience to make sure you get invited to the events that would be most valuable to you.

  • positioningDocument and publicize your stealth startup acquisition story — even without naming the acquirer, a 10-month founder-to-exit narrative is a powerful signal for future fundraising and investor credibility.
  • introsLeverage your Stanford GSB Impact Fund role to build a formal deal flow network and start making small angel checks to establish an investing track record before graduation.
  • fundraisingIf you plan to found another company, use your Asia retail design-partner relationships (two of Asia's largest retailers) as an unfair distribution advantage and consider raising a pre-seed round before graduation.
  • positioningPublish a case study or LinkedIn article on your AI memory/context infrastructure thesis for retail LLMs — this positions you as a domain expert and attracts both co-founders and investors.
  • introsExplore a formal role at a consumer or retail-focused VC (like Sauce.vc where you already have a relationship) as a scout or EIR to convert your operator expertise into investor credibility.
  • tacticalRegister your UK company IDEASHACKS VENTURES LIMITED as an active entity and clarify its purpose — if it's a vehicle for angel investing or a new venture, formalizing it now protects optionality.
  • fundraisingApply to YC or other accelerators for your next venture — your P&G and BCG background combined with a prior acquisition exit makes you a strong candidate, and the network compounds over time.
