A story about how a remote, self-organized, transparent cooperative made over 1M BGN turnover in fiscal 2016 and other interesting facts ...

1. Camplight 5.0
Transparency report for 2016 from a digital
cooperative

2. A story about one, beyond exponential, year around
the fire …

3. A lot has happened in 2016
… but how do you remember it (?) defines
your reality

4. RIP Pavka…
We lost one dear
friend, co-founder
and member of
Camplight. We’re
still recovering from
this stress :/

5. We survived two cobudgets for food
Cobudget is our way of self-organizing and keeping the money balance in the
organization between individuals. This means that in 2016 we nearly went “bankrupt”
… twice ... but thanks to generous Camplighters, who had big enough buffers of
money, we collectively managed to survive those crisis.

6. Apart from every
pushback we
collectively thrived

7. 2016 was fun... As entirely remote team it was awesome that we shared some
adventures and parties together

8. 2016 was bonding... We increased as a team and made new connections with
inspiring people

9. 2016 was flying... There’s a saying “It doesn't
matter how many times you fall down it's
how many times you get up” ;)

10. 2016 was live and real-time … We did a lot of chats, talks, hangouts all in the
sake of moving things forward

11. 2016 was … wtf

12. 2016 was like a musical

13. … and we composed a marvelous song

14. Our imaginary trend line can
barely keep up!

15. Shared expenses
On average a Camplighter spends 111,06 €/month
Camplight pays for ~14 services
On average a Camplighter income for 2016 is €21,629.01
“Shared expenses” is our way of self-organizing and dealing with expenses in the organization. Camplight
is not having a “treasury”, thus every camplighter is paying for what he uses.

16. Projects
Total number of
outsourcing cards for
5 years: 626
Avarage income from
project for 2016:
€32,597.14

You’re unique ;)
Keep in mind that there are always alternative ways to run your business. For example we don’t have
ambitions to grow, acquire fame and become millionaires -> we want a live well lived with a healthy
lifestyle business, the consequences of which may be above exponential growth, international fame and
billions in revenue.
