What you likely need
You'd get the most out of Festival events that put you in rooms with YC-affiliated angels and micro-VCs who already trust the S20 pedigree, plus founders who are actively running WhatsApp-heavy communities and could become your first paying Wapihuman customers. Dinners and roundtables that blend technical credibility with GTM storytelling will help you close both the seed round and the business-focused co-founder gap simultaneously. Smaller, high-trust gatherings around equity structuring and founder protection are also timely given your dual CTO role at Rig.
