FAQ:
- Q: Hey there, I run a community round 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 for a zoom meeting?
  A: Hi Tristin — you’re welcome to schedule a conversation with me here: https://calendar.app.google/m1q3iB666ejVBMyK7 I look forward to meeting you!
