David HutchfulFounder
I am passionate about designing and building tech solutions that are informed by a nuanced understanding of the socio-economic and cultural contexts of the problems. I've worked in the private (Microsoft Research) and non-profit (Grameen Foundation) sectors and built companies that use technology to improve peoples' lives. When I am not hacking ideas or technology, I love to read, travel and experience different cultures. I am always available to play or watch football.
