Collaborator
The Sanja Stories team are a collaboration formed within The Ecosystem Incubator. The idea is that no one is the ‘Boss’ that we come together and work with each of our unique skills and super powers to co-create. In this case it is a Regenerative brand.. each player shares a percentage of the rev generated over the lifetime of the brand itself. This unique way will open itself out to more players as we need them – and indeed the wider growers, sewers and marketing aspects.
