Vim People aims to be a collaborative platform and brand for independent service providers focused on small businesses. It will initially launch in Boulder, Colorado in November 2021, with plans to expand to other cities. The organization will utilize a decentralized structure and digital platform to help service providers develop their own brands and client bases, while benefiting from shared marketing, resources and support. Members will determine their own work schedules, rates and specializations. The long term goal is to have 1000 partners generating $1.2 million each in business sales, reaching $1.2 billion in total sales within 10 years.
