  Brave is a platform coop - we're building technology to keep people safe from overdose.We're starting with a mobile app to anonymously connect people right at the moment they're at risk of overdose with a volunteer, remote supporter to keep them safe and call for help if needed. Our hardware team is building a wearable overdose detector, and we're testing whether buttons could be used to bring support or help if needed. There is no one size fits all technology solution here, but we believe that an approach that combines community, dignity, safety and technology (in all its different forms) can help the majority of people currently at risk of overdose.

Ramsay Webber

• Attorney

  • Jan 1998 - Jul 2000

  My first job as a law graduate was with Ramsay Webber, starting, naturally, as a candidate attorney and then continuing after qualification as an attorney until I left for Europe in 2000. This small firm managed to give me a bit of a taste of everything but with an emphasis on commercial clients, contracts and litigation and one large acquisition.
