Vancouver Tech Podcast Ep.69: John Richardson, CEO of Ethelo Decisions

Special guest John Richardson of Ethelo Decisions

Special guest John Richardson is the founder and CEO Ethelo Decisions, a social enterprise dedicated to new ways of doing group decision making, using online technology. Ethelo was born out of trying to find a way of impacting and improving democracy, and answering the question: “What is democracy going to look like in 10, 15, or 20 years, or more importantly, what does it need to look like if we’re going to address the major challenges facing society today?”

With a unique technology that enables groups to make complicated decisions, Ethelo is a mix of commercial enterprise, selling that technology to government and large organizations, and a non-profit organization that provides its technology for free to citizens and organizations that want to engage citizens in doing democratic decision making.
