CODE-OPERATIVE

Code-Operative was a co-operative founded in 2017 in the North East of England. The co-operative was closed in 2024 and replaced by SEPHEO... Code-Operative's mission was to grant its members a greater degree of autonomy over their economic lives - both by exposing new people to the benefits of freelancing and in exposing freelancers to the benefits of mutualisation within the co-operative model, via a greater degree of security and autonomy in their work and via a support network. Our clients were tech-for-good, typically themselves co-operatives or non-profit organisations... For many of its members, it was their first foray into the co-operative movement (a business owned and controlled by its workers), and their first experience running a business. For more than 20 people, Code-Operative provided their first steps into the co-operative movement, and often the first steps in a technology career, providing them with the experience and tools they needed to go on to find their place..
