How We Work

EvoBioSys operates as a federation of freelancers — sovereign individuals coordinating through shared principles, fair rates, and trust-worthy transparency. Not a company. Not a collective in the traditional sense. A living network.

How Jakob acts in the world

Every collaboration starts from one of these three postures.

1

Envisioning & Aligning

Bridging worldviews. Helping partners see the bigger picture, align on shared purpose, and design categorically-compatible visions that hold multiple perspectives without collapsing them.

2

Curating & Connecting

The EvoBioSys network is a living rolodex. Connecting partners with the right collaborators, resources, and contexts to accelerate what matters.

3

Setting Up & Supporting

As a fractal co-founder, financial advisor, and strategic adviser, helping partners set up systems that begin with the infinite game in mind — stable structures designed for the long arc.

Three essential social agreements

The default culture. These aren’t rules — they’re promises we make to each other about how we want to be in the field together.

1. Going at our own (inner) pace

We honor each person’s rhythm. No one is rushed into alignment or pressured to perform faster than their development allows. The pace of the work follows the pace of the people.

2. Enacting spontaneous inspiration

When an insight arrives, we act on it. The field rewards responsiveness to genuine creative impulse — not just scheduled deliverables.

3. Checking critical assumptions

Before acting on high-stakes beliefs, we verify. Not from distrust, but from care — making sure the ground beneath our feet is real before we build on it.

What we promise each other: We will do our best not to undermine each other’s sovereignty, not to act from hidden agendas, and not to mistake urgency for importance. We relate authentically and directly, especially when constructive reflections are necessary.

How we decide and act

Fair & Simple

Every arrangement should be understandable in one conversation. No hidden complexity, no baroque legal structures. If it can’t be explained simply, it’s not ready.

Transparency

Costs, decisions, and reasoning are visible. Trust-worthy because transparent on the costs, the process, and the reasoning behind every significant choice.

Degree of Resonance & Veto

Decisions are made through resonance, not majority vote. Each member can express their degree of alignment. Vetoes are respected — they signal something the field hasn’t integrated yet.

Publish Early, Build in the Open

We don’t wait until something is perfect to share it. A minimal version that meets real needs is better than a perfect vision that never ships.

Let Users Extend the Tool

We are so much more capable when users can also extend what we build. Open source, open APIs, forkable by design.

Federation of Freelancers

Not employees, not contractors — sovereign collaborators who choose to coordinate. Each brings their genius; the federation provides the structure for genius to compound.

How economics work

Simple, fair, and designed to reward contribution rather than extract it.

Commissions

20%

When someone within the federation brings a client or project, the standard commission is 20%. Industry standard, no negotiation overhead.

Meta-Level

We can agree on a different setup when it is more simple. Jakob is generally open to alternatives that reduce complexity while maintaining fairness.

Open Tech-Stack

All technology built within EvoBioSys follows the open tech-stack principle: open source where possible, self-hostable, EU-sovereign, privacy-first.

What we look for in collaborators

When pausing a loop

If you need to step away from an active collaboration, communicate it clearly. A clean pause is worth more than a guilty ghost. The field will be here when you return.

Mutual non-disparagement

Both parties agree to only take actions and make statements that have a neutral or positive impact on the other party’s business, services, products, or reputation.

Authentic relating

Both parties are open to relate authentically and directly, especially when constructive reflections and improvements seem useful or necessary.

Want to work together?

Open to: co-founders, aligned investors, mentors who’ve navigated non-straightforward paths.
