02 Tech Consulting with Dot Project

Today I am speak with Cat Ainsworth and Annie Legge from the Dot Project.  Annie and Cat started Dot Project 6 years ago with the purpose of building strength through technology. They come from very  different backgrounds but share a dislike of hierarchy and have created a cooperative that helps organisations position technology and human relationships as core organisational infrastructure. It was a breath of fresh air talking to these two amazing women! We hear how it takes both bravery and patience to build a cooperative.  We explore how Dot Project started, how it grew and how the cooperative principles inform everything that they do. We touch on Women in tech, the idea that growing something for impact rather than just for the sake of growth has been misunderstood in the past, but how the tide of investment may be turning. You can find out more about Annie, Cat and the Dot Project below.
