Founders

Leo Dearden graduated from Cambridge University with honours in Computer Science (with Materials Science). He has done software engineering for companies such as CSR, Google, YouView, Moore Capital, Solarflare Communications and G-research. In 2010 he left Google to found RepRapKit.com, transitioning from pure software to multidisciplinary engineering synthesis of open source 3D printers. Development of a groundbreaking 3D printer led to the pump that became AccuVol's first prototype.

Arthur Doohan graduated from Trinity, Dublin with a joint honours degree in Economics and Engineering. He spent 16 years as a capital markets trader covering all form of interest rate risk. Leaving the City for moral reasons he did several residential redevelopment projects in South London. He now works as a consultant and founder with involvement in software and blockchain development in addition to this hardware project.

Ian Grigg is one of the longest standing participants in the digital finance field now known as blockchain. In 1995, he embarked on the world’s first cryptographically secured digital cash and assets exchange. Along the way, he invented the Ricardian contract, a way of expressing all issuable and tradable financial obligations as a contract online, and was one of the discoverers of triple entry accounting, a concept that does for events between firms what double entry accounting did to accounts inside the firm. He has consulted with EOS, Knabu, Mattereum, and R3 and currently works in the area of social savings and identity.
