Closed beta for employee-owned and mission-driven organizations

One home for decisions, governance context, and shared work.

Heirloom helps growing employee-owned companies, mature co-ops, and mission-driven organizations keep decision-making, accountability, stakeholder participation, and follow-through clear as they scale.

Currently working with a small number of early teams and ecosystem partners to shape Heirloom around real coordination, governance, and ownership-culture workflows.

Building or supporting an employee-owned organization? I'd value learning how your team handles decisions, governance, stakeholder participation, and follow-through today.

Fairness

Shared ownership gets more complex as organizations grow.

In early teams, context can live in meetings, memory, chat, and a few trusted people. But as employee-owned organizations add teams, committees, board processes, locations, advisors, and employee-owners, it becomes harder to keep decisions, responsibilities, and participation visible.

Everything is scattered

Notes, docs, tasks, proposals, and decisions spread across tools, so nobody can see the whole picture.

Governance context is hard to trace

Decisions happen in different rooms, but the reasoning, authority, and follow-through are not always easy to find.

Accountability gets uneven

Boards, committees, teams, and members may all own different pieces of work, but the handoffs are unclear.

Participation breaks down

People want to engage, but they do not always know where input is needed or what has already been decided.

Product

A flexible operating loop for participatory organizations.

Every Loom connects the conversation, decision, task, and context behind a piece of work. Teams can start with simple coordination, then add structure for boards, committees, member groups, proposals, voting, and decision records when it helps.

  • Discussions stay attached to the work they create
  • Proposals become decision records with clear next steps
  • Boards, committees, and member groups can work with the right level of visibility
  • Tasks, owners, and follow-through stay connected to the decision context
  • Contribution and participation history stay visible where useful

Different groups can have different spaces, visibility, and decision pathways, from employees and members to boards, committees, leadership teams, advisors, and ecosystem partners.

Heirloom is not trying to replace every tool your organization already uses. It is focused on the layer where conversations become decisions, decisions become owned work, and the record stays visible.

How we think

Build organizations around the people inside them

Heirloom is built for organizations that believe good ideas should not get buried, contribution should not be invisible, and coordination should make participation easier instead of more confusing.

Surface ideas

Give people a place to propose, discuss, and shape work before decisions disappear into meetings, docs, or chat threads.

Make participation easier

Help employees, members, committees, and leaders see what is happening, where input is needed, and what has already been decided.

Preserve the record

Keep decisions, ownership, and contribution history connected so accountability can be grounded in real work.

Who it is for

Built for organizations where coordination, governance, and participation are part of the work.

How it works

Start simple. Add structure when your team is ready.

  1. 1

    Map your current workflow

    In setup, we shape a Loom around your organization, stakeholder groups, active work, and decision pathways.

  2. 2

    Start with the loop

    Bring one real discussion, decision, or project into Heirloom and connect it to tasks.

  3. 3

    Add structure when it helps

    Layer in roles, stakeholder groups, committees, proposals, decision records, voting, and contribution visibility as the organization needs more structure.

Ownership

Shared ownership support when it helps.

Start with the coordination layer your organization needs now. Add ownership, governance, and participation workflows as they become useful.

Start now

  • Use Heirloom as a shared workspace for decisions and follow-through
  • Keep discussions, proposals, tasks, and context connected
  • Make participation easier across teams, committees, and stakeholder groups

Layer in structure

  • Support member, board, committee, or advisor workflows
  • Add proposal and voting pathways where they fit
  • Preserve decision and contribution history over time

Ownership does not need to look the same in every organization. Heirloom is designed to support different paths, from early shared-work teams to more formal employee-owned and participatory structures.

Pricing

Early access pricing

Heirloom is currently working closely with a small number of early teams and ecosystem partners before opening public pricing.

Early Access

Founder-led setup while pricing is still being shaped

We're still shaping pricing around how organizations actually use Heirloom for coordination, governance context, stakeholder participation, and follow-through. Early teams get founder-led setup and direct support as we learn what works.

Early teams get:

  • Founder-led setup
  • Workspace setup support
  • Feedback-driven product shaping
  • Pricing discussed based on team needs
  • Best for employee-owned organizations, mature co-ops, EO ecosystem partners, and mission-driven teams working through real coordination, governance, or stakeholder-engagement challenges

Pricing is discussed based on team needs, setup scope, and what Heirloom is actually helping your team coordinate.

“If you want to create something made up of the best expertise and parts of everyone involved, use Heirloom.”

Frequently asked

Is this just another project management tool?

No. Heirloom focuses on the layer where conversations become decisions, decisions become owned work, and the record stays visible.

Do we need to be a co-op to use Heirloom?

No. Heirloom is useful for co-ops, employee-owned companies, nonprofits, programs, and mission-driven teams that need a clearer way to manage decisions, shared work, participation, and follow-through.

Is Heirloom only for flat or fully collective organizations?

No. Many employee-owned and mission-driven organizations still have boards, committees, leadership teams, advisors, and different decision rights. Heirloom is being shaped to support flexible stakeholder groups and decision pathways, not one fixed governance model.

Do we need to formalize ownership to start?

No. You can start with the coordination layer your organization needs now and add ownership, governance, and participation workflows as they become useful.

How do we start?

Request early access or book a short founder call. We will help map your current workflow into Heirloom.

Building or supporting an employee-owned organization?

I'd value learning how your team handles decisions, governance, stakeholder participation, and follow-through today.

Supporting multiple employee-owned or converting organizations? I'd value your perspective on whether this pattern shows up across the teams you work with.
