What you likely need
You sit at a rare intersection of deep technical fluency and institutional investing credibility, but neither side of that identity is fully visible to the founders who should be finding you. Festival events that put you in rooms with AI and life-sciences founders — where you can show up as a builder-investor, not just a Sixth Street principal — will accelerate both your personal brand and your deal flow. The highest-leverage gatherings for you are ones where publishing, open-source, and thesis-sharing are the shared language.
Would you attend these IRL Festival events?
We will tune and customize your Founder Festival experience to make sure you get invited to the events that would be most valuable to you.
- positioningA dinner for active GitHub-publishing investor-builders (think a16z scouts, Conviction fellows, and solo GPs with open repos) where the table norm is sharing what you're actually shipping in ML pipelines and SageMaker to swap credibility signals with technical founders
- tacticalA Hugging Face community roundtable with top model-publishing founders and researchers where you can debut a public dataset or fine-tuned model release and position yourself as the rare growth-stage investor with hands-on transformer stack experience
- positioningA life-sciences-aware investor dinner with neuro and metabolic biotech founders — drawing on your published spinal cord injury and metabolism research background — to establish you as a credible scientific-capital source distinct from generalist growth funds
- introsA happy hour for emerging solo angels and scout-to-GP operators formalizing their personal investing brand outside a primary institutional role, to workshop how to structure a public thesis page and angel vehicle that complements your Sixth Street position
- positioningA closed roundtable with multi-asset and special-situations investors — across Sixth Street peers, Ares, and Apollo-adjacent operators — to co-develop and pressure-test a thought-leadership piece on non-consensus growth investing that raises your profile beyond your firm's institutional audience
- tacticalA Stack Overflow and iOS/Swift developer community mixer with top-tagged contributors and indie app founders where increasing your visible technical contributions in your core tags translates directly into warm inbound from technical founders seeking capital from someone who speaks their stack
- introsAn office hours session pairing AI founders with investor-operators who have published public investment theses, designed so founders self-qualify before the room — giving you a live forcing function to ship your portfolio page and thesis before the event
- tacticalA build-in-public workshop for investors with dormant or private GitHub profiles, modeled on the HN Tokenmaxxing leaderboard ethos, where the output is a committed public repo push and a drafted Hugging Face model card you leave with by end of session
