WHAT'S IN THE NAME

Many and one - at the same time

We chose the word collective because it captures the concepts of "many" and "one" at the same time. Inherent to its definition, a collective is marked by something that is shared. Community, synergy, coming together, mutuality and peers uniting are the synonyms that re-phrase what a collective is and does.
