A short building-in-public tweet thread on how we're thinking about meeting up in person both within our team and within our larger @HustleFundVC community

1) Everything is a moving target, so I'm sure our stance will change in 2 months.

But, for now, we see the SF Bay Area as a place where we feel safe & confident enough to meet up in person w/ the high vaccination rates here.

As such, we are doing our in-person team offsite here

2) That said, COVID-19 is still bad in many other places and/or it's still hard for many of our team members to come to the US either because of the US visa backlog OR strict quarantining laws abroad.

Our offsite will be missing team members. :(

3) In addition, ALL of our events whether internal or external will be held outside (barring unforeseeable circumstances such as super smoky days due to wildfires).

4) We will also require all event attendees to be *vaccinated* (unless extenuating health reasons).

While this may be controversial in some circles, I see this as a matter of safety for all attendees.

In a similar way, we also don't allow smoking or sword throwing at our events

5) Obviously, COVID-19 will be with us forever.

But, as a company, we are still being quite cautious about gathering large groups of ppl and when we do, taking many precautions until vaccines are available widely internationally & for children.
