After a decade in consulting, leading international digital transformation programs for Accenture, I decided to use all the skills I gained from these experiences to solve an issue I really care about - how to better connect communities to local space. I became obsessed with this problem when after moving to New Zealand. I wanted to start some meet-up community groups to find new friends. It was really hard and time consuming. I couldn't understand why it was so difficult to book community space for an hour, yet I could book a bedroom in someone's house for a night anywhere in NZ! Through being part of community groups, I understand the power of what can shift and change when we make it easier for people to meet different people locally and share stories. Reuse and recycle are a core part of my values. When I found Dan, Jeremy and Franco over in Perth had hit on the same lightbulb moment and already built a beautiful community space sharing marketplace, the solution became easy - bring SpacetoCo to New Zealand. The four of us are so aligned on our vision to open up all types of community space, to increase utilisation of these public assets and create new opportunities for all.SpacetoCo is now emerging as a leading partner to Councils across NZ and Australia who want to solve the communities and space match-making puzzle. Although we provide the software to completely eliminate invoicing, bonds, repetitive admin and availability management AND we can help any facility be set up to take bookings online in less than an hour, what we care about is the ecosystem we're enabling.We believe there is a more innovative and community lead way to share the facilities we all need quicker and better access to. By helping all spaces take bookings online, we make it easier for people to find and book space quickly and accessibly. We break down the barriers to spaces being able to share, and we emancipate people who manage spaces to do less admin and more community growth. Most importantly, by enabling a marketplace of council AND other community or private spaces to be found together, we create an amazing network effect of local economic development, sustainable use of existing spaces and tons of data to better provision future funding and projects.
