Hi everyone, first time founder here of a tech startup that has around $1m in pre-seed funding. I have funding but I don’t have a good idea that I’m also excited to work on. I know what general area I want to work in, but I just don’t know what problems are out there.

Would it be a faux pas if I go to conferences in this space and try to meet people and tell them that I have funding and want to potentially start something together? I’m technical (AI research/engineering) and want to work in the ocean tech space which I don’t have any experience in.
