What you likely need
You need events that convert your 30-year AI credibility into a visible, trackable investment and advisory footprint. The highest-leverage gatherings for you are intimate dinners and roundtables where you can formalize relationships with early-stage AI founders who need your technical depth, and where fellow angels and syndicate leads can see your deal activity firsthand. Look for sessions that bridge your massive educator audience with the operator and investor community you're now moving into.
