Welcome To Deep Work
Operational principles
Deep Work is a unique organization that operates like a mix between an open online collective of freelancers and a quality-controlled profitable business. It is based on the assumption that we should be free to choose what to work on, when, where and with whom. A set of considerations that makes this freedom possible while remaining profitable is listed in How we work.
If you're interested in replicating our organizational design, you can read instructions in this Organizational Design Playbook.
Project-based work and volunteering
Paid projects have teams where team members usually already know each other. All other projects are on a volunteering basis but present an opportunity to display your skills or work with other talented people.

Join our talent network
Unlike most organizations, Deep Work does not have a formal hiring process. Instead, we rely on self-assessment of skills and intrinsically motivated, peer-reviewed collaborations to build your reputation.
If you want to become part of our community and increase your chances of collaborating, we recommend doing the Skill Mapping exercise.
After completing Phase 1 of the exercise, you can reach out to Andrej on Telegram to be invited to our internal TG group.

Individual autonomy
If you are interested in working with us, you need to be proactive about reaching out to other community members or experts and be specific about your requests. This requires you to understand yourself, your goals, and your values.
There are no formal applications and collaborations are based on relationships between autonomous individuals who trust each other.
