We've got a bunch of Lighthaven markets, but none specifically about Lighthaven's existence as a festival venue. Lightcone bought the Rose Garden Inn with a 5% loan, and is currently raising money. Lighthaven (the venue, not Lightcone) is currently slightly losing money.

The hypothetical event should be 3 days long, with room for at least 200 attendees, and be reasonably in good shape. Sleeping arrangements are not required.

I will resolve this by my asking @BenPace or @OliverHabryka at close date.

If Lightcone sells Lighthaven to another organization, I will make a reasonable inquiry at close date if Lightcone does not control Lighthaven.

both appear to count (if either were held in June)! Good news for Lighthaven!

Is Lighthaven imperiled by FTX suing CFAR/Lightcone for $5M?

That article is riddled with numerous factual errors, and the author didn't even attend Manifest/LessOnline. But I'm not too knowledgeable on this specifically, @OliverHabryka knows more

100% of the equity in Lighthaven is owned by a Jaan Tallinn owned company, so it's not really at risk, though the details are a bit messy. I think it's a relevant consideration but not a big one compared to just basic profitability.

I’m reasonably confident one of my former employers would host events here. I’d love to connect them with the relevant person(s).

@pdw The best way is to start an Intercom chat with us on Lighthaven.space, but you can also send me an email at oliver.habryka@gmail.com

@OliverHabryka Thanks will do!

Change it to be any month ( sg said it's ok to change )

@strutheo no, that would be annoying to resolve
