Starfish has worked in collaboration with a wide range of professionals and organisations as part of fit-for-purpose teams tailored to one or more of our sustainability initiatives. This is the same organising principle used with the Starfish Associates.
Nearly every Starfish initiative involves collaborations with other organisations.
Starfish especially acknowledges Legal Minds who have provided significant pro-bono services to support Starfish’s establishment including:
- incorporation
- charitable applications
- intellectual property development
- establishment of Starfish Foundation
“If you have come here to help me, you are wasting your time. But if you have come because your liberation is bound up with mine, then let us work together.”
