Swarm Partners

Collective intelligence, self-organisation and open-source creative collaboration are emerging as the most effective approaches to building prototypes of possibility and pathways to a more beautiful world. At the same time there is pressing need for widespread understanding of ecological limits and the interconnectedness of everything. Because there’s no business to be done on a dead planet. Swarm is founded on these principles. We are a creative collaboration company. We work with inspired people on projects to make a more beautiful world. We market gnarly problems, invite diverse participation, create collaborative movements for change and build fixer brands and ventures which serve both humanity and the planet. We work with start-ups, businesses, brands, NGOs, public organisations, activists, investors and funding groups. Together we prototype, hatch and grow innovative solutions to some of the most gnarly social and environmental challenges. Because in the future we believe the most loved brands will be built by the real problems they fix not by the novelty they create. Swarm approach every mission with seven core practices: 1. Self organisation and emergence 2. Constraints and challenges breed creativity 3. A demanding common task builds community 4. No one is as smart as everyone 5. Diversity is king 6. Action learning by doing 7. Local – the future is local, we can network for the rest
