Ground Level founders are two local small business owners, Andy from The Good Machine and Athena from TechLever. They met during a strange time, as the pandemic hit Victoria hard, and Checkpoint Charlie signs were still about in the west.
They would regularly catch up over the phone, talk about their challenges and bounce ideas off each other. They recognised that this action alone, is what gave them a little more bounce in their step.
And so, late in 2021, they started a club that brought together people who shared the same fundamental value – how can we help each other.
Ground Level Club was an initiative with The Good Machine and TechLever.
