The document describes an uncommon structure for a digital services cooperative that is employee-owned and non-hierarchical. Key aspects of this structure include employees having real ownership, a lack of fear in decision making, and ensuring work is fun. The structure empowers employees to do work they think is right and have their contributions directly influence outcomes. Questions are welcomed and lessons learned are focused on doing good work, working with the right people, and building a company employees want to work for.
