What you likely need
You're an active pre-seed GP at IOVC with a portfolio that already includes unicorns like Boom, Checkr, Rescale, and Imbue plus an Instacart IPO — the highest-leverage Festival events for you are small, founder-dense rooms where you can source the next round of B2B/future-of-work bets and trade notes with peer GPs. Given your dual life teaching at Stanford and Berkeley, you'd also benefit from gatherings that surface tomorrow's technical founders before they're on the open market. Pair these with a few thought-leadership moments tied to your 'Shuo's Snippets' platform and your California Mental Health Commission seat.
