What you likely need
You'd get the most from Festival events that bridge your ministerial credibility with your emerging angel identity — rooms where policy weight translates into deal flow and co-investor relationships. Dinners and roundtables with HealthTech and Enterprise SaaS founders would sharpen your sector thesis and accelerate your deal cadence from its current slow pace. Structured sessions on syndicate formation and public portfolio building would help you formalize what is currently an informal, under-documented investing practice.
