What you likely need
You're an early-stage AI founder with a rare two-batch YC pedigree and a prior acquisition — the right Festival events should convert that track record into seed capital, enterprise design partners, and a sharper public profile. Your highest-leverage moves right now are warm introductions through YC S21/S24 alumni and your SVB and Vouch/insurtech networks, paired with positioning moments that put PathPilot's AI-native session-replay angle in front of the right technical and operator audiences. A first GTM hire and a clear differentiation story versus FullStory and Hotjar are the unlock for your next funding round, so events that accelerate both will compound quickly.
