Also called open and collaborative enterprise, open and collaborative venture.
A new form of enterprise adopting a network structure, open to participation (permissionless) and fully transparent. Examples: all ventures incubated within the Sensorica OVN, Bitcoin, etc. Open ventures are modelled based on open source projects, anyone who can/wants to contribute can join. Calls for participation are usually broadcast through social media channels. Documentation is very prolific and it is published with public access. An open enterprise can be forked and remixed (like open source).
An open enterprise is a self-sustaining economic operation that clusters mature open projects (the ones that have generated exchange value) into for-benefit operations. As an economic enterprise it has accumulation mechanisms, some of which can operate through exchanges (offering services) to generate revenue, which is redistributed back to all contributors.
An open enterprise is driven by collaborative entrepreneurs, see more on collaborative entrepreneurship. Note its ability to bypasses traditional centralized and controlled processes, scarce monetary currency, and the labour market.

Three new economic tendencies
For all three:
- use of excess capacity;
- access to a resource rather than its possession;
- pooling of goods and knowledge.
| Features | Platform capitalism | Platform coop | p2p |
|---|---|---|---|
| coordination of citizens and organizations in networks or communities | Hosted in privately owned and profit motivated platforms | Hosted in collectively owned and public benefit oriented platforms | Hosted in platforms not owned by anyone that are public benefit oriented. |
| a more horizontal than vertical organization of trade | Hyper centralized at the platform level, command and control governance | Hyper centralized at the platform level, democratic governance | Decentralized at the platform level, meritocratic governance |
| greater ease of conducting activities or providing services | Platform architecture designed with profit motive in mind, rapid evolution, good UI/UX, siloed | Platform architecture designed with public benefit in mind, slow evolution, mediocre UI/UX, siloed | Platform architecture designed with public benefit in mind, rapid evolution, good UI/UX, higher interoperability |
| intermediation, often through digital platforms | Privately owned and instrumentalized for profit maximization | Collectively owned and instrumentalized for public benefit | Not owned and instrumentalized for public benefit |
