Frequently Asked Questions
How can I start collaborating with the cooperative?
The best way to get to know the cooperative is through our
initiatives. Participate — you don't need to be a member to get involved. For startups, contact us to learn more about the incubator.
What does it mean to work through the cooperative?
It means developing projects with a common legal, administrative, and institutional framework, access to shared infrastructure, and the possibility of collaboration between members. The cooperative exists to organize collective work, reduce operational friction, and create conditions for projects that benefit from scale, diversity of skills, or continuity.
How do projects work in the cooperative?
Projects developed in the cooperative are framed within its activity and managed with common administrative and contractual support, including invoicing, expenses, and accounting. The cooperative handles this operational component to reduce friction and allow members to focus on work and project growth. The value generated by projects goes mostly to the members involved, according to the cooperative model and each person's contribution, with a cooperative fee applied to fund common services and the structure's sustainability.
How does participation in public tenders and open calls work?
Ideas and projects can be submitted through the cooperative when aligned with its mission and activities. The proposer takes on the role of project steward, leading the application and execution with operational and budgetary autonomy, within the cooperative's institutional framework. The cooperative ensures contractual, administrative, and financial management of the project, retaining a cooperative fee that funds common services and the structure's sustainability. Depending on the project's evolution, it may continue integrated within the cooperative, or give rise to a spin-off, which may be incubated and supported by the cooperative.
How does approval of new members work?
All applications are submitted to the General Assembly and approved by qualified majority. If an application is rejected, the Assembly is required to justify the decision in writing.
What are capital titles?
Capital titles represent your share in the cooperative's equity. They're not a financial or speculative investment — they're how we ensure that control of the cooperative is distributed among those who are active, engaged, and take on responsibilities. That's why we have different engagement levels: you can start as an Associate (no titles), move to Member (€50 in titles), or Full Member (€500 in titles), depending on the level of commitment and benefits you're looking for.
Can I recover my capital titles?
Yes. The titles are refundable when you leave the cooperative, as long as there are no outstanding debts.
Do you have physical space for members?
Full Members have access to a dedicated workstation. For other tiers, we provide hotdesk access based on availability, through a token system.
What is SIGO?
SIGO is the cooperative's internal management system. It enables exchanges between members, digital membership card, visibility of internal cooperative funds, assembly information, and access to internal initiatives. A mobile app version and other features are planned for the future.
What equipment is available?
Currently we have: drone, 3D printer, laptops, 4 VR headsets, among others. If you have needs that could be collective, let us know — we can acquire equipment for shared use. To learn more, get in touch.
