The official DCCS Bylaws are provided on this site without the intent to substitute for, and do not constitute, legal advice. Instead, the content is made available for general informational purposes for members of the DCCS Corporation and startups / organizations that wish to research, fork, or adopt our bylaws. Users should contact an attorney to obtain advice with respect to any particular legal matter.
DCCS is structured as a hybrid capital / cooperative corporation that seeks to be:
- economically and environmentally sustainable
- employee, customer, supplier, and investor friendly
- democratic and flatt(er) lattice organization
- scalable to public market (IPO and beyond...)
These bylaws reflect that purpose. We want to innovate, not just in product, but how businesses are designed and maintained.
