What you likely need
You'd get the most out of Festival events that put you in the room with YC alumni LPs and crypto-native fund managers who can accelerate your LP raise and share co-investment deal flow. Roundtables and dinners focused on AI/crypto investment theses would let you road-test your fund positioning and build the public credibility that attracts inbound founders. Events with a builder or open-source angle would also help you reconnect with your technical roots and sharpen the narrative you bring to skeptical LPs.
