What you likely need
You'd get the most out of Festival events that put you in the same room as music-tech VCs, AI-native founders, and experienced fund managers who can either write a check into your stealth startup or anchor your first LP base. Small, high-trust dinners and roundtables where your Spotify moonshots credibility and angel track record do the talking will accelerate both your fundraise and your micro-VC formation faster than any cold outreach. Lean into gatherings that let you wear both hats — founder and investor — since that dual identity is your sharpest differentiator.
