Dot Chan

The Dot Chan Official Logo

Dot Chan is a privately-owned UK company operating in the computer games development sector. Its Chief Executive Officer is Dorothy Chan and its Chief Technical Officer is Ali MacLehose. The company has been in business now for four years, ever since Chan and MacLehose met online and established a desire to work together to

zap the patriarchy.

Funding

The shares in Dot Chan are split as follows: Dorothy Chan, 25.5%; Ali MacLehose, 25.5%; Greater Mammon Venture Capital Corporation of Spokane, 49%. During the current development cycle, the company's finances have been kept under a tight rein. The office space was picked up cheaply after the previous occupants went bust, and Chan herself is renting a broom cupboard at the back of the office to sleep in.

The company's finances suffered a further blow when the offices were cleaned out, along with the company's bank account by the Institute for Research and Development, although this was subsequently made good with illicit funds removed from the sinking Channellia.

Staffing

The bulk of the initial development of the gaming engine is carried out offshore by the Zappow Software Corporation of Chennai. The front-end work is carried out by Chan and MacLehose themselves.

Following the establishment of MacLehose's relationship with Patrice Benjamin, two of her PhD students have also joined the company as interns: Balvinder Singh and Katya Morozova.
