What you likely need
You're a technical founder with rare VC operator credibility, and the events that will move the needle fastest are small, high-trust rooms where your M12 and Samsung Next pedigree opens doors to seed-stage AI infrastructure investors and enterprise decision-makers. Dinners and roundtables that put you in front of CISOs, CTOs, and on-device AI buyers will help you convert BlackBird's download momentum into paying design partners before your seed pitch. You also need a room to find a GTM hire who has actually closed Fortune 500 deals on developer tools or AI infrastructure.
