Startup Stories - Leonie Cutts & Craig Browne
Startup Stories - CARISA Image
Leonie Cutts and Craig Browne, co-founders of CCS Corporation, have been creating hugely popular board games and game-like learning and development products for over 30 years. They love making things that turn family gatherings and business meetings into moments of meaningful connection.
Their creations have been used all over the world in boardrooms, classrooms, family homes, hospitals, stadiums, churches, in the Swiss Alps, on cruise ships, and even on horseback!
This dynamic couple are now again in startup-mode, channelling their expertise to take on the challenge of eradicating social isolation in residential aged care with an innovative app called CARISA. Caring for an ageing world is a human problem that needs a technology-assisted human solution. As Craig says: “With CARISA, we want to activate and facilitate care, not automate care. But, just like a great board game, there are lots of twists, and surprising challenges to overcome.”
