What you likely need
You'd get the most out of Festival events that put you in the room with immigrant-focused investors and future-of-work founders who can move fast on a pre-seed check for GoEB1. Dev-tools and OSS builder gatherings are a natural fit given your Hugging Face traction and active GitHub presence, and any setting where you can sharpen your founder narrative separate from your Netflix identity will compound your recruiting and fundraising momentum.
