- Marketing partner: guest post exchange for SEO/domain authority (his book site ↔ dungeonbooks blog + dungeonengineering.com)
- Fundraising connection: his team helped raise a $75M Series D for Crowdsource — may assist with seed round strategy
- Sent manuscript + cover to Panat for review — Panat forwarded to Carrie
