How It Works

Whether you're exploring self-management or running an entire organization, CoActOS makes it simple.

01

Discover

Browse roles that match your skills, or create your own projects and teams. Find opportunities in the commons or within your organization.

02

Connect

Join teams, sign agreements, and define how you'll work together. Use consent-based decisions and clear accountability structures.

03

Thrive

Grow your skills through learning paths, earn through cash or barter, and participate in governance. Success is shared.

Everything You Need for Self-Management

From individual contributors to entire organizations, CoActOS provides the infrastructure for collaborative, distributed work.

Decisions Made Together

No top-down mandates. Use consent-based decision-making, advice processes, and transparent governance that gives everyone a voice.

Your Skills Open Doors

Get matched to roles based on what you can do—not your resume. Build your skill profile and let opportunities find you.

Agreements, Not Assumptions

Formalize how you work together with team charters, communication norms, and shared accountability. No surprises.

Chart Your Own Path

Create learning paths for skills you want to develop. Find mentors. Prepare for roles you aspire to fill—and track your progress.

Work on Your Terms

Collaborate for cash, barter, or pro bono. CoActOS supports flexible exchange models that fit how you want to work.

Run Your Whole Company

Spin up your own CoActOS instance. Manage budgets, recruiting, compensation, and governance—all on a platform built for self-management.
