Geoff Wood: Welcome to the Welch Avenue Show, episode number 62. Our guest today is Trip Edwards, a venture capitalist with Dallas Venture Partners, but based in West Des Moines. Trip is new to Iowa, and he brings with him experiences from places like Boulder, Dallas, and even China. Before we get into talking with Trip, two quick things: First, take a look at our Patreon campaign at patreon.com/welchavenue. That's the place where you can directly help support this show. You can pledge one dollar, or one penny — doesn't really matter, what does is your support. Second, we're working with Iowa Economic Development to help promote the Iowa Hour at South by Southwest. Check out the Iowa Hour at iowahour.co. This is our state’s showcase at the big festival in Austin next month, and we want all members of our startup community represented. Startups, service providers, and funders--you are all welcome to help co-host. Just click on "register to host" and fill in a short form. Thanks and e
