What you likely need
You'd get the most out of Festival events that put you in front of the sharpest AI application-layer founders before they hit the fundraising circuit, since early access to exceptional founders is your primary edge. Roundtables and dinners that let you road-test your Age of Abundance thesis in front of technical operators will sharpen your public writing and attract inbound from exactly the builders you want to back. Cross-portfolio tactical sessions that surface shared GTM and hiring opportunities across Mercury, Gong, Glean, and LangChain would compound value across your board seats in ways that are hard to manufacture otherwise.
