Bio
Gordon Casey is the founder of the Brave Technology Coop. Brave detects overdose - if someone is using drugs alone, we know where they are and can send help. From mobile apps, to smart buttons and sensors, these tools have been co-designed by those that are at risk of overdose themselves, and have detected over 100 overdoses to date. As a cooperative, Brave is owned by its members, which includes the end-users of its technology, the Brave team, and investors. There is no one-size-fits-all technology solution to the overdose epidemic; however, an approach combining community, dignity, safety and technology (in all its different forms) can help most people at risk of overdose. Gordon was born in Zambia, raised between Ireland, Qatar, Montreal and South Africa. He previously worked as a lawyer and entrepreneur in Curacao, moving to Vancouver in 2016. He spends his non-Brave time with his wife, his amazing daughter and a puppy disguised as his human son.
