A Bothy.Studio thank you
The People and Programs Who Helped Us Along the Way
Over the past year we have been very fortunate to work with a number of organisations and individuals who helped us shape Bothy.Studio - offering mentorship, technical support, and strategic guidance the right moments. We would like to say thank you!
Selkirk Technology Access Centre
Offered us incredible technical expertise, prototyping support, and helped us refine early production workflows. Without STAC we wouldn’t be here. Shawn Curran, Kailey Allan, Seth Whithead, Jason Taylor and everyone at STAC - thank you!
Beth Gallup
A thoughtful, incisive mentor whose clarity and experience sharpened our story, strengthened our strategy, and pushed us toward better answers.
KAST (Kootenay Association for Science & Technology)
For building the regional ecosystem that supports creative and technical entrepreneurship — and for connecting us with the right resources at the right time. Thank you Dave Damer and Darren Tremaine for pointing us in the right direction.
NRC IRAP — SMARTS Grant
For supporting our early research and development, and enabling us to explore the systems that will make distributed digital fabrication across Canada possible.
Our first cusomers and everyone who has provided feedback as we took our first steps.
Our family and friends - building a business is challenging, risky and tends to eat away at family time and resources. While Anna and myself have been working to create a stable foundation for Bothy.Studio we have been supported by our partners/husbands Blaine Cook and Matt Wynne and also friends including but not limited to Kate Leadbeater and Brian Lye - we have so many more to thank but we will do those in later posts.
We wouldn’t be here without this extended community of helpers and collaborators. They are part of the ecosystem around Bothy Studio — an ecosystem we’re proud to contribute to and grow within.
Love,
Natasha & Anna
