Mick Carr and Mat Goddard founded thevillageco.com to help small businesses access tech that would help them run a better business while also "keeping more money in the village" for the benefit of all in the local community. They share their purpose, and also the extraordinary lengths, they went to get this startup up and running.
Mick, Mat and all of the management team sort of got tired of the corporate lifestyle. The thought "how do we come out and actually live our life with purpose and develop a company that excites us to get out of bed every day?".
This was why The Village Co. www.thevillageco.com.au was born.
It is now based in regional New South Wales.
They are on a mission to create a positive future for local communities by combining creative people with the latest technology to design innovative solutions that disrupt the food service industry.
Their Virtual Supply Chain (VSC) product is an artificial intelligence backed supply chain solution that enables small businesses to compete with big businesses.
Right now, they are working in the retail butcher's sector. They have branded that platform Butchers United and are looking to unlock the value and the potential in the three thousand odd retail butchers around the country.
