Meet our Coalist Cooperative

Only if we stay small, grounded, with a daily dose of reality, can we stay who we are, will we be happy and successful. We support small IT service providers with a common platform, brand and one common voice to our customers.

Cooperative at its purest.

An autonomous association of persons or entities united voluntarily to meet their common economic needs and aspirations through a jointly-owned enterprise.

Alliance to emphasise autonomy and independence.

We appreciate our own company, size and independence, but we want to have allies and unite to be stronger and cover a wider range.

-ist as the suffix for a practitioner

We are all doers and appreciate our craftsmanship. A person who practices something or holds certain principles: physicist; chemist; psychologist, etc.

Our vision

We believe in small businesses. Be it the nice bakery around the corner, the high-quality food from your local farmer or the fantastic espresso from the fancy barista next to your home. What do they have in common? Love. Love for their products and craftsmanship. Small businesses stay real and grounded with their purpose and don’t get lost in bureaucracy, 10-year financial strategies or company reorganisations. Where do you prefer to buy your bread?

At coalist we all believe in this philosophy. Only if we stay small, grounded, with a daily dose of reality, can we stay who we are, will we be happy and successful.

However, there are some downsides to being small and sometimes alone. Exchanging ideas in larger groups of co-workers, engaging in larger projects with mixed demands or developing a digital product for a client which requires more resources or skills you can or are willing to offer.

We experienced exactly the same and wanted to change something. This was the beginning of coalist. A cooperative which helps small IT service providers to cooperate within a community of other peer businesses. We support them with a common platform, brand and one common voice to our customers.

Let’s share opportunities and reduce risks, together!
