What you likely need
You're at an inflection point where your athlete brand and early angel activity can be formalized into a real investment vehicle with a differentiated thesis. The most valuable Festival events for you are small, high-trust rooms with other athlete-investors, sports-tech founders, and fund structuring operators who can help you move from informal check-writer to recognized institutional voice. Dinners and roundtables that sharpen your women's sports and sports-tech thesis — and put you in the room with co-investors who amplify your brand — will compound the most before your playing career ends.
