Mitra Ardron's Blog

Hi, and welcome to my website - a place where I've collected writings both current and past.

I work at the interfaces of Sustainability, Community and Technology.

I'm passionate about sustainability at scale; about taking solutions to those less able to afford it; and in particular in developing countries. Currently that means supporting Innovators working in, and for, developing countries through Natural Innovation .org.

In the past that has included building a solar company that pioneered large scale community purchasing in Australia, and co-founding the Association for Progressive Communications.

I am CEO and co-founder of Lumeter Networks.

Lumeter has developed a series of pre-paid electricity meters that we are supplying to renewable energy companies so that they can better server rural off-grid villages in developing countries.

NOTE: Natural Innovation is on indefinite hold as I devote all my time to Lumeter Networks.

I am the Executive Director of Natural Innovation .org

Natural Innovation works to support & mentor innovator in, or focused on, developing countries. To help them get their idea completed, and scalably distributed.

I started this because of the critical need for business advise and access to finance for those, who typically self-identify as engineers or inventors rather than entrepreneurs and are working on the technology aspects of solving critical problems for the bottom billion.
