CoCreate OS is the operating system of the Hacker Dojo community. See what fellow builders are working on, team up on real projects, sell your expertise — and shake hands in person, not on another Zoom call.
On Upwork or Fiverr, you work with strangers ten time zones away and compete on price with the whole planet. CoCreate is the opposite: a local trust network.
Browse the live directory of Dojo startups and builder projects. Know who's working on what — and where you could plug in.
Connect with like-minded builders by skill and interest. Form pods, find co-founders, or just find someone to think out loud with.
The Connector board surfaces collaboration openings: co-founder searches, pilot partners, cross-promotions, and joint builds.
Claim scoped, paid tasks from Dojo startups. Start with free Portfolio MCs to build your verified track record, then move up to paid work.
Blue and Black Belts unlock Expert Mode — sell consulting sessions at your own hourly rate: code reviews, pitch teardowns, strategy calls.
Back a Launch Fund and get founding perks and lifetime deals — from teams whose work you've seen with your own eyes.
No bidding wars. No race to the bottom. A trust ladder where shipped work is the only currency.
Start with free Portfolio Micro-Contracts from verified Dojo startups. Real problems, real founders, real deadlines — not sample projects.
Every contract ends with a founder rating. Your ratings build a Living Resume — a verified track record that updates as you ship.
Blue Belt opens paid contracts. Black Belt unlocks Expert Mode — sell your expertise by the hour at your own rates.
Belts turn vague resumes into visible trust signals. They can't be bought — only earned by shipping.

CoCreate is the operating system of Hacker Dojo — a living directory of who's building what, who's open to collaborate, and what's happening in the space this week.
Browse every startup building at the Dojo — their stage, what they're working on, milestones shipped, and where they need help. Know the room before you walk into it.
Find fellow builders by skill, interest, and Belt rank. See their Living Resume of verified shipped work. Form a pod, find a thinking partner, or assemble a team.
The collaboration board: co-founder searches, pilot partnerships, cross-promotions, and joint builds. Post what you're looking for, or answer someone else's call.
Float a half-formed idea and let the community sharpen it. Comment, support, and find collaborators who want to build it with you before it's even a startup.
The in-person heartbeat. Founders pitch live, builders demo what they shipped, and everyone hangs out after. This is where online profiles become real relationships.
See who's shipping, who's earning, and who's backing the community. Friendly competition that surfaces the most active builders and supporters.
Example events — connects to the live calendar in the app.
Community-powered, rewards-based fundraising. Dojo startups raise from the people who already know their work — supporters get founding perks and lifetime deals, and a slice of every raise funds the builders shipping the product. No equity changes hands.
Example campaigns — connects to live raises in the app.
Founding-member pricing, lifetime deals, early access — from teams whose work you've seen in person. Payments go directly to the startup via Stripe.
Set a goal, offer reward tiers, keep 100% ownership. You collect funds through your own Stripe account; CoCreate provides the audience and trust signals.
Startups can earmark a % of every raise to fund Micro-Contracts — so community money pays community builders to help ship the product.
Resumes are claims. Belts are proof. Your rank is earned only by shipping verified work and earning founder reviews — it can't be bought, padded, or faked.
Where everyone begins. You can browse the whole community, claim free Portfolio Micro-Contracts, and start building a verified track record. No experience required — just a willingness to ship.
The trust threshold. Unlocked by shipping Portfolio MCs with strong founder ratings — or via Fast-Track if your GitHub track record qualifies. Opens up paid contracts and the ability to sell your expertise.
The community's verified experts. Black Belts have a deep track record of shipped work and high ratings. You can sell Micro-Consulting at your own hourly rates, get priority routing on contracts, and mentor the next wave.
