Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPhilip Sheldrake is a strategic technology leader and CEO with over a decade of experience shaping decentralized web, sociotechnical systems, and ethical technology adoption. He has founded and led multiple cooperatives and research organisations—most recently Unnamed Labs and Open Farming—focused on practical deployments of DWeb, generative identity, and open protocols. Philip combines a background in engineering and lean systems with hands-on startup and non‑profit leadership dating back to founding Fuse and leading Europe’s first e-money and mapping mashup ventures. He advises and builds for complex socio-technical change, blending policy, governance and product instincts from roles at AKASHA Foundation, Network Society Research and techUK. Based in Amsterdam, he’s as comfortable engaging with regulatory stakeholders as he is prototyping decentralized protocols—an uncommon mix that accelerates real-world adoption. His practice emphasizes warm-data systems thinking, dignity-preserving technology and cooperative models as alternatives to purely token-driven DAOs.
