What type of clients do we want to attract?

[nelsonic]

Can we list the types of clients we want to attract?

[iteles]

Companies that provide a net social good.

[sofer]

I met the founder of https://www.crowdjustice.co.uk/ yesterday. I would like to add that company to the list.

[sofer]

Almost any company that has a reasonable chance of threatening any of the existing financial services monopolies.

Mental health and wellbeing is another area that interests me.

[sofer]

Also, of course, anything that supports collaborative learning and work environments :-)

[hdrdavies]

bit of an addition to @sofer's mental health and wellbeing - something involved in mindfulness and meditation is interesting e.g. https://www.headspace.com/

I'm a big fan of sport too... and BBC sport did look cool! (not sure if they're providing a net social good though!)

@benjaminlees Could you also tell us why those two companies? (nothing long required!) :blush:

Kano Good Gym

Anything to do with free education too - I :heart: duolingo, sadly I don't think they have jobs in the UK.

[iteles]

@hdrdavies We were thinking along the lines of people we might approach as clients rather than having jobs available, but 'anything to do with free education' is ace :star:

Thanks for the contributions!

[iteles]

@RachBLondon Some real 'do gooder' organisations there :blush: :+1:

[hdrdavies]

Of course, my mistake!

[hdrdavies]

What about businesses in Bethnal Green? It would be good to contribute to the local community. (or another area if we move).

[iteles]

@hdrdavies Agree that helping our local community should be on our list. Matching this up with our values on the types of companies we'd like to work with will be a worthwhile exercise to see if there are any business in our area we feel we can add value to :+1:

Ultimately, the plan is to allow people to work from anywhere so there may be less of a sense of 'local', but contributing to the community in general is :ok_hand:
