What you likely need
You'd get the most out of Festival events that put you in the room with deep-tech and defence-focused investors who can move fast on a Series A, and with repeat hardware founders who've navigated sovereign-supply and government-contract positioning before. Curated YC alumni dinners and small COO/operator roundtables would also unlock the hiring and network leverage you need to sustainably run four concurrent ventures.

- positioningA repeat-founder positioning roundtable for founders who've scaled a company to unicorn status (like Go1's $600M+ revenue story) and are now pitching a second high-conviction venture, workshopping how to lead with that narrative in defence and deep-tech investor pitches for Black Sky
- hiringA COO and GM hiring dinner connecting defence-tech and advanced-manufacturing founders who've brought in their first operational hire to scale past 50–100 employees, helping Vu identify and vet experienced operators ready to own Black Sky Industries' day-to-day
- tacticalA sovereign-capability and government-contracting roundtable with Australian deep-tech founders and ex-Defence procurement insiders to map the pathway from Black Sky's initial $3.6M Department of Defence award to larger sovereign solid-rocket-propellant supply contracts
- fundraisingA health-tech and medical-device Series A investor dinner with funds active in underserved-market access plays — building on OneMRI's $4.1M already raised — to close the next round and accelerate MRI deployment in regional and emerging markets
- wellbeingA small wellbeing offsite for founders simultaneously holding three or more active co-founder or board roles, facilitated around frameworks for ruthlessly prioritising which ventures deserve your equity of attention — and how to gracefully step back from the others before burnout hits
