The Team

We are a decentralized team who each in their own way have been hacking at the systems and structures that underpin the Wealth Defense Industry. Our collective experience includes work across financial services, wealth management and financial planning, philanthropy, tech cooperatives, solidarity economy investments, and social enterprises.
