What you likely need

You'd get the most out of Festival events that put you in front of institutional LPs and co-investors who already respect TLDR as a signal-generating machine. Dinners and roundtables with other founder-turned-GPs and Sequoia/Berkeley network alumni would accelerate both your Humans Fund I close and your AI deal flow. Positioning events that let you publicly narrate the Nova → Handshake exit and your Anthropic/OpenAI early positions will do more for your LP pitch than any deck.
