Collective

Collective enables independent freelancers to team up by mutualizing skills, networks and work methodology in a quest to enable each other to achieve more as a group vs. individually.

Collective combines the benefits of working in an agency - because its SaaS platform automates much of back-office functions like proposals, invoices, contracts and payments - with the flexibility of still being freelance and thus able to pick and choose projects and clients.

Collective was founded by Jean de Rauglaudre, Vianney de Drouas and Paul Vidal, as part of eFounders.
