Join the collective
A collective of freelancers where everyone grows
Data Seeds brings data and AI independents together as one collective force, at the service of clients and their challenges. That is what underpins the trust between the collective and its network, clients and partners alike.
- A collaboration model with contracting processes inside and outside the collective
- A model that evolves with the collective
- A strong network of independents sharing business opportunities directly
- Individual assignments or joint bids on projects
- A network that helps freelancers grow into key areas beyond their initial field
What the collective brings its members
A network that shares its opportunities, its resources and its value.
Data Seeds is not a marketplace. It is a collective of freelancers run by freelancers: opportunities, resources and value move between members, with no intermediary.
Value sharing
Margin levels are transparent: what an assignment carried by the collective earns is shared between its members on terms known in advance.
Off-market assignments
Opportunities that go through no platform: they circulate directly between members and through the founders’ network.
An active community
Between thirty and forty data and AI independents who know each other, refer each other and answer each other day to day.
Administrative support
Concrete help with contracting and the formalities that come with assignments.
Resources and practices
Documents, methods and lessons learned, produced collectively and available to every member.
Quarterly gatherings
Regular meet-ups, afterworks and activities that keep the collective alive between assignments.
A Seed, the data entrepreneur
Membership requires proven reliability, shared values and experience recognised on assignments.
Recognised expertise
By peers and clients alike.
Ethical values
Care, reliability and integrity.
An entrepreneurial profile
Curious, ambitious, a doer, at ease internationally.
Where you fit
Two complementary orientations within the collective.
