OSE Financial Model

Introduction

The OSE financial model involves running immersion build and training workshops for bootstrap funding. Because the model combines education and production - which are both large market segments at $4 [1] and $12 trillion [2] respectively - the OSE model is potentially scalable. OSE's goal is to facilitate these entire markets to non-proprietary development, further expanding the global commons to widespread access. It is OSE's belief that such access is necessary for freedom and wise progress in civilization.

OSE Case

2018 marks OSE's first ever immersion training program, aimed at expanding the well-proven, lean OSE Bootstrap Funding Model. Model proof of concept has been achieved via OSE's collaborative production training events (workshops) since 2012.

It is important for OSE to cultivate an entrepreneurial mindset, which is consistent with lifetime growth and a drive for excellence. This is consistent with the larger story of ongoing human evolution - summarized in that the only constant is change. OSE's specific goal is to cultivate Integrated Humans who are both systems thinkers and practitioners - and thus more capable of understanding and stewarding the world around them.

Livelihood is a key expression of one's semi-autonomy. Livelihood is what we do most of our days - and having a well-balanced life requires right livelihood. For example, we cannot honestly express a desire for peace when we work in a military economy. Thus, the responsibility is in each of us to do honest work, that gives us life rather than the opposite.

It is important for OSE to structure its livelihood opportunity in a way that incentivizes good work.
