New form of business: Co-company
The global coworking movement has created a new kind of organization created by independent entrepreneurs for independent entrepreneurs.
Such is Conjunctured (from the conjuncture - connection) - a member community in Austin, Texas, created by independent individuals united under a common brand, but adhering to autonomy.
They are engaged in promotion, website development and software consulting.
Some facts
')
The founder and head of the coworking movement, Jelly in Austin, founded Conjunctured, a marketing and development company, along with four independent figures who met at the co-destructors in Austin.
They created a joint company by inventing a new term co-company (from a collaborative company; does anyone have any idea how this abbreviation sounds in Russian?). This allowed them to formalize their business and independently operate under a common brand.
This model of business organization has evolved from the local coworker movement, known as Jelly, the largest network of independent coworkers in the world.
From the very beginning, the creation of the co-company was discussed in an open Google group, encouraging interested readers to participate in the discussion. The co-company will continue to be built as a transparent business model in which members of the organization and observers will be equally involved in development.
The next step for Conjunctured will be the creation of a production environment based on membership in Austin and managed by the community.
Manifesto
1. Transparency. Conjunctured members, customers and all who support this organization, are committed to being completely open to each other.
2. Honesty. No one should exploit the community for personal personal gain.
3. Freedom of choice. Participants themselves choose which projects they want and which they do not want to participate in.
4. Communication. Direct communication in any way that simplifies the workflow.
5. Build human relationships. The organization and its members should work on something that is irresistible for one person.
6. Work is built on trust. To make the community and its members do what they do best.
7. Monitoring. The community should identify participants who are not doing their job.
8. Reviewing. The co-company members criticize and evaluate each other’s work in an open forum.
9. Free working time. Participants can spend 5 minutes or 200 hours on work and rest. In any case, whoever works more, he rests more.
10. Granular workload. All work should be distributed throughout the community.
11. Financial sustainability. The company and its members must make money.
