+# EmpowerTheDAO Team
+
+### Chris Hobcroft and Will Griffiths — The Partnership
+
+Chris and Will met at devcon4 in Prague in 2018, at the end of Virgil Griffith's presentation on Ethereum's "Special Projects".
+
+As well as the [Livepeer Aragon App](https://github.com/videoDAC/livepeer-aragon/blob/master/README.md), they are currently working together on [LPT Futures](https://forum.livepeer.org/t/transcoder-campaign-lpt-futures/709) - a project to build tools to sell Livepeer Tokens (LPT) which are bonded to Livepeer's network.
+
+They are both experienced Vipassana meditators, and occasionally meditate together before meetings.
+
+Chris and Will are equal holders of voting weight in the [EmpowerTheDAO Aragon DAO](https://mainnet.aragon.org/#/empowerthedao.aragonid.eth).
+
+### Chris Hobcroft — Project Lead
+
+Chris was the co-creator of the [Livepeer Aragon App](https://github.com/videoDAC/livepeer-aragon/blob/master/README.md) (along with Will, see below), which empowers any Aragon DAO to delegate stake to Livepeer's Delegated-Proof-of-Stake Protocol, and also govern the operations of a Transcoder Node in Livepeer's Network.
+
+He has 15 years experience working in technology innovation, including 2 years working on Ethereum-based projects. As a part of the team which launched Livepeer to mainnet, he created Livepeer TV - the first dApp running on Livepeer, empowered other Ethereum-based projects to livestream their events, and has done extensive user testing of Livepeer's protocol.
+
+He has experience in Concept Definition, Business Operations, Project Management and Systems Analysis in "traditional" technology startups and consultancies, and has Computer Science and Mathematics degrees from Cambridge University.
+
+Chris also enjoys cooking, singing with his ukulele, transacting on Ethereum, and riding motorbikes in India. He currently lives in London with his girlfriend, Petra.
+
+**Commitment**: Part time

+
+### Will Griffiths — Solidity / Full Stack Developer
+
+Will was the co-creator and developer of the Livepeer Aragon App (along with Chris, see above), and has been engaged with Ethereum since it's inception.
+
+He studied computer science for undergraduate at Leeds University and came top of his class. He has worked for commodity trading companies, mobile development companies and with Ethereum for the last 2 years. Initially he built a POC light client Android wallet and then moved onto freelance Solidity projects.
+
+He has experience managing a team of developers, working independently and in partnerships.
+
+Ultimately Will is interested in building and contributing to governance experiments in the hope it will help us understand how to create more inclusive forms of organisation.
+
+**Commitment**: Full time
