MacEagon Voyce
MacEagon is a writer, musician and builder. After many years balancing music journalism (VICE, Nerdist) with people ops work at various startups, he founded a music project called Grey Matter and veered his writing toward the intersection of culture and emerging tech. Music and its champions continue to be his focus, but he's also become fascinated by collective ownership and realigning platform incentives around the creation of public good.
Hailing from the best state in the union (Minnesota, clearly), he's currently puttering around London, singing songs at the pubs that'll still let him in.
