Join the canopy (co-op)

Getting started

pip install canopy

install.packages("canopy")

Those don’t actually work, but they illustrate a key aspiration of canopy.coop: starting a consulting practice should be as easy as installing a Python or R package.

Cooperative benefits

Thanks for being here. Our mission at canopy.coop is to make it extremely easy for experts to start consulting. That looks like going from ground zero to having a legal business in 3 days. That includes:

• 📝 insurance : commercial, professional, and general liability
• 🙋 mentorship : help marketing and scoping professional work
• 💵 finances : bank account, invoicing templates, taxes
• ✉️ communication and data : email and drive storage
• 🕸️ network: colleagues to collaborate with
• 🖥️ branding : website and marketing
• ⚖️ legal : counsel and legal forms
