Introduction

The OSE Mentorship is an opportunity for you to learn about collaborative movement entrepreneurship, using a open collaborative techniques. It is as much about developing a vision and mindset of collaboration - along with the skill set to build things. We build optimized products as product ecologies that deliver the promise of improving the quality of life for everyone. The intended audience is individuals who have a high capacity for rapid, integrated learning. This consists of an hour-long weekly meeting - directly with me - Marcin Jakubowski - where we delve into the philosophical and practical aspects of open-collaborative development, regenerative design, open source appropriate technology, and movement entrepreneurship. The intent is to provide a strategic and tactical awareness of what it takes to work on pressing world issues - using truly open, inclusive, and collaborative techniques - to create an inclusive economy of abundance. Via an approach that centers on entrepreneurship, which provides financial independence as a prerequisite to the freedom of choice required to take on important work. The goal here is to cultivate mindsets of possibility regarding solving remaining unsolved problems in civilization - and to cultivate a culture of discipline that can anable anyone who is truly interested - to take on this path as a way of life. The OSE Way.

The OSE way is a lifeling learning process. The Mentorship is intended to build a closely-knit community, with a goal of a full-time transition to OSE-inspired work. To make this happen, we develop open, collaborative enterprise as a means of bootstrapping progress. This is a response to my frustration at the obvious fact that collaboration can free us from useless toil - yet every corporation is proprietary, reinventing the wheel instead of unleashing true progress. So far I have not met a single entrereneur in the world - who is interested in collaborating on an enterprise with scalable impact. Even in the world of open source. So I have to do this myself: first by starting a robust open enterprise (Seed Eco-Home), and building a community around me - who aspires to Level 6 Leadership.

Intent

The intent of the OSE Mentorship is to start long-term relationships with individuals interested in carrying the work of OSE forward, in close collaboration with OSE. The program is flexible, but it does hold collaboration as its highest ideal. That means that we work on BHAGs aimed at solving pressing world issues, and anyone who joins the project works in alignment with and in support of the current Missions of OSE. The intended outcome is for people to transition to working with OSE full time, starting an OSE Chapter, or other project-based endeavor. Current active areas include housing, 3D printing, heavy machines, and autonomous vehicles.
