Humanity's challenges grow more global in scope. Climate change. Mass migration. Technological disruption. Pandemics.
Yet our ability to coordinate effective responses seems insufficient.

Not a solution, certainly not The Solution (we strive to avoid the techno-utopian fallacy that "we have new technology and new technology solves everything"), but a possibility. With great excitement, after more than a year of effort, we announce the launch of our product suite. Open Enterprise.
We believe we have the humble beginnings of a new way to organize. An evolution of Open Source. Collectives that cooperate with the transparency and participatory spirit of open source projects, with the efficacy and scale of a transnational enterprise.
Built on the Aragon stack, with an initial focus on the companies and organizations comfortable with the current state of Etherum applications, we offer new tools to enable individuals and groups to run more accountable organizational processes. This includes project management, bounties, decision making, budget planning, and payments.
We're happy to announce that today, Open Enterprise is live on Ethereum Mainnet. This means you can now access our apps: ...
