Human Technology: A Founder's Journey

Running a company can be incredibly challenging. I started Causeit in 2006, without a clear vision for the business, but with a remarkably big, broad vision for my work in the world. Having done several years of personal, transformative work alongside academic study in my field of Cyborg Anthropology, I was really clear that I was committed to creating love, joy and community in the world.

And the creation of effective business doctrine, I believe is going to be critical for the transition of business in the next century.
