FAQs.

A stronger application flow starts by lowering uncertainty and making the expectations clear.

Who is usually a strong fit?

Independent developers, designers, and technical consultants who care about craft, communication, and showing up well with clients and teammates.

How long does the process take?

We usually try to get back to applicants within two weeks. That's not a guarantee, however, because we strive to be thorough as well as fast.

What does the annual fee cover?

It supports the shared infrastructure behind the collective, including tools, operational support, and the systems that make collaboration and project access work smoothly.

Is remote-only okay?

Remote work is absolutely part of the model, but we place a lot of value on people who can show up in person when the work or relationship calls for it.
