#1 Whitney Stacey & Matt Teluk - Co-Directors of Monochrome Coffee Co

Futures Collective

Meet Whitney & Matt Monochrome Coffee Co. is a social enterprise coffee company, out to empower people to change the world now! Led by Co-Directors, Whitney Stacey and Matt Teluk, Monochrome Coffee Co. exists to transform developing communities through the education and empowerment of youth. Whitney grew up wanting to be an actor, but always knew she had a passion for positively impacting other people's lives. A volunteer trip to Tanzania at age 18 solidified her commitment to impacting East African communities through education. Matt's pathway was very different. Matt went to university and became a lawyer. After accepting a highly-sought after graduate role at a multinational professional services firm in corporate tax law, Matt soon realised that education and social enterprise were his true calling. Both currently work full-time jobs in addition to running Monochrome Coffee Co. and Monochrome International, a not-for-profit.
