What you likely need
You're at the inflection point between operator-angel and institutional fund manager, so the highest-leverage Festival events connect you with LPs who back emerging micro-VC managers and GPs who co-invest alongside scouts. You also benefit from rooms that reinforce your founder credibility in AI eval and dev tools, where your Gentrace and Decagon vantage points are genuinely differentiated. Events that surface pre-Series-A enterprise AI deals or let you host under your own brand will compound your proprietary deal flow before you close your first fund.
