Dot Glasses addresses the needs of the world’s 1 billion+ people that are visually impaired that have no access to prescription eyeglasses. We created radical, ultra-low-cost, one-size-fits-all eyeglasses that provide customized eyeglasses to even the most remote corners of the world. Combined with a simple, proprietary vision test, the DOT Glasses solution eliminates the need for eye doctors, prescription laboratories and two-way logistics when those arent available - and when the existing eye care infrastructure is sufficient, we provide our solution to dramatically lower the cost of prescription eyeglasses making good vision affordable for absolutely everyone.

We help our clients focus on clarity of mission and to align their people, processes and strategy to deliver greater impact. We enable boards to move towards more effective governance and collective decision making. Many are impressive leaders in other fields but have partnered with us to better understand and lead effectively in the social impact sector. We also offer a short course for trustees to help the boards of social impact organisations work smarter. We partner with senior leadership teams and boards to help them work in synergy, developing and delivering strategies that are aligned to achieving their mission. We work with founders at the beginning of their journey, helping them to develop the principles, values and approach which will guide them, as well as navigating them from initial idea to fully developed organisations. We support organisations to move and evolve successfully beyond founder stage.
