FAQ:
- Q: Hi, what is revenue YTD? What percent of revenue is recurring? Thanks
  A: Hi! Thanks for your question! YTD revenue is ~16k with a de minimis amount being recurring at the moment. The bulk of early revenue (100K+) last year was during our publicly marketed beta. We deliberately slowed this down around February so we could incorporate significant platform architecture changes, migrate over to a better payment system, implement stickier subscription/pricing tiers, incorporate feature requests, and add an affiliate (reseller) business insurance marketplace integration...
- Q: Why did you list your company as having a female founder?
  A: Hi there! Thanks for the question. For the first few years of early operation, our COO/cofounder was Colleen Jamison, a female founder. While she is no longer on the full-time team, she is still an active advisor of Basil. She was a huge part of our founding journey!
- Q: Hey there, I run a crowdfunding focused venture fund and have a few questions for you that I'd love to ask 1 on 1 if possible. What's the best way to reach you before end of the community round for a zoom meeting?
  A: Hi Tristin--thanks for reaching out! Would love to connect. You can email me at connor@basil.so. Looking forward to connecting.
