What you likely need
You'd get the most out of Festival events that put you in the room with Enterprise AI investors and APAC-focused operators who can accelerate Acceler8's seed or Series A process. Roundtables and dinners with YC alumni, a16z Speedrun cohort peers, and micro-VC builders would help you both sharpen your positioning and formalize your angel activity into a real fund. Targeted hiring and GTM-focused gatherings would also move the needle fast given your 11-person team and pre-raise revenue pressure.
