What you likely need
You're in the critical early innings of establishing Renegade Ventures, so the events most valuable to you are ones that accelerate LP relationships, sharpen your public thesis, and build co-investment credibility fast. Dinners and roundtables that put you in the room with family office allocators, Web3-native GPs, and Techstars-adjacent founders will do the most work right now. You should also prioritize positioning moments where your Lowkey-to-Niantic founder arc is the conversation starter, not a footnote.
