What you likely need
You're at a pivotal moment building your identity as a lead investor within Shopify's commerce ecosystem, so the highest-value Festival events connect you with founders and angels who can sharpen your thesis and feed your deal pipeline. Events that put you in rooms with cross-border operators, fintech builders, and AI-native SaaS founders will accelerate both your sourcing and your public positioning. You'd also benefit from intentional, lower-key gatherings that give you space to reflect and maintain relationships outside the pressure of active deal flow.
