What you likely need

You're an active seed-stage founder currently raising for Sizzle while also angel investing through Sand Hill Angels — a dual role that gives you both operator credibility and investor network access. Your primary near-term priority is closing Sizzle's current $10M raise and converting your gaming/esports conference momentum into institutional lead investors. Strengthening your public digital footprint (GitHub, Product Hunt, press coverage) would meaningfully amplify your founder signal.

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.

  • fundraisingLeverage your Wedbush Winter Games and RALLY pitch competition win to warm introductions with gaming-focused VCs like BITKRAFT and Play Ventures, who are already in your orbit.
  • introsUse your Sand Hill Angels membership to source co-investors for Sizzle's $10M round — fellow members often co-invest in deals brought by active members.
  • positioningYour Google Pay origin story ($93.4B annual volume, 150M+ users) is a powerful credibility anchor — make it the lead in all pitch decks and press outreach for Sizzle.
  • tacticalDeepen existing PUBG Esports and league partnerships into formal revenue contracts to demonstrate B2B traction before closing the current fundraise.
  • positioningPitch the VentureBeat seed-round story into a Series A narrative piece — you have the Elevate Ventures win and conference appearances as fresh hooks for gaming and AI beat reporters.
  • tacticalPublishing even a small open-source tool related to Sizzle's AI pipeline on GitHub would add technical credibility and builder signal that is currently absent from your public profile.
  • tacticalA Product Hunt launch for Sizzle.gg would drive consumer awareness among the tech-savvy gaming audience and generate social proof for investor conversations.
