Tristan's expertise in small business lending, financial modeling, and credit risk management has been instrumental in navigating the complexities of starting and sustaining a cidery in a competitive market. His strategic approach to funding and financial structuring has allowed Lost Boy to grow sustainably, even amidst the challenges of starting a new venture.
