Onboarding Process

It is important for the Network to develop and grow organically with trusted experts and providers that offer high quality services and expertise while sharing a mindset of cooperation, abundance and purpose. These prerequisites for joining the Network are represented in the onboarding process outlined here.

1.) Join the network

To have information of how you and your service can benefit projects and the development of the Network community, please provide some data in the short forms below:

In general, no costs are associated with becoming a member. There are services provided in the Network and on its digital platform that require a fee. They are optional in any case, though.

2.) Get to know each other

With the information provided, a COBIOM Core member will contact you via email and schedule a 30 min video call with you to get to know each other.

It is important for us to understand:

In this call we also find out in which role you want and can join the network, as Expert, Associate, Service Provider, or a combination of roles.

3.) Be on the list

As member of the Network you will be automatically on the extensive list of Experts and Service Providers. This passive membership allows you to be matched with projects, challenges or service requests. You will also receive the newsletter of the Network and be invited to exlusive events and formats for professional, personal and community development.

4.) Participate in the Swarm

The heart of the Swarm is the Swarm Innovation platform. While it is currently under construction, it will allow active participation in innovation projects to drive sustainability and positive impact into every strategic and operational decision and action. Network members who show extraordinary skills and dedication will be invited to join the Swarm on the platform. This requires active participation in projects or exchange with the community. For participation, Swarm Experts will receive tokens that can be exchanged for services on the platform, invested into community and service development or remunderated by a share of the revenue acquired by business projects on the platform. For more information see Value and Revenue but also the chapter on Intellectual Property.

5.) Use the Swarm Intelligence

If you do not wish to actively participate in the value creation on the platform but still intend to be part of it, you can be a member for a monthly membership fee of 10€. For information will be available on the platform website. This passive membership in the Swarm does not allow you to post or participate in activities on the platform. Active participation makes you an active member who benefits form the token system. Agencies or companies have the option to use the Swarm platform to post challenges or acquire experts, or a Swarm of experts, for a company fee.
