We launched the Community Builder Playbook to share the playbook we followed to build Confluence.VC.

I love it 😍 | Meh 😒 | This stinks 🥵 

Thanks so much for reading! We began this because of personal struggles we experienced while settling into venture roles, and our goal is to make this newsletter a resource instead of a burden to your inbox.
