Founding 500 - Be among the first 500 companies on Cooperate

Cooperate helps Norwegian construction and trade companies collaborate when capacity changes-share workforce, find reliable partners, and move faster without middlemen.

Cooperate is built for one simple goal: making it easier for trustworthy construction and trade companies to work together when capacity changes.

Sometimes you have crews available and want to fill the calendar. Other times you need extra hands fast to keep a project moving. In reality, this often turns into a lot of calls, messages, and chasing around. Cooperate brings it together in one place, so companies can find each other, clarify quickly, and get started.

We’re now opening the waiting list for the first launch phase. The waiting list will only be available for a few weeks.
The first 500 companies to join will get priority access and a spot on the Founding 500 list.


What is Founding 500?

Founding 500 is the first 500 companies to join Cooperate.

They join early, give us feedback, and help us build something that actually works in day-to-day operations. In return, they get a clear reward on pricing for the first year when we move to a paid subscription.


Free until we reach 500 companies

Cooperate is free to use until we reach 500 companies on the platform.

That means you can create your company profile, test the platform, and start connecting with other companies without paying - while we build a strong network with enough activity to create real value.


Reward for the first 500

Once we pass 500 companies, Cooperate will move to a paid model.

Standard pricing after the free period:

  • 599 NOK/month when billed yearly (annual plan)
  • 799 NOK/month when billed monthly

The Founding 500 discount applies to these prices.

Founding 500 members will receive the following discounts for the first year:

  • 20% off the monthly subscription, or
  • 50% off the annual plan (first year)

This is our way of saying thank you for joining early and helping us reach critical mass faster.


Who is Cooperate for?

Cooperate is a good fit for companies that:

  • Have periods with available capacity and want more jobs
  • Need extra manpower in busy periods and want to find reliable partners fast
  • Work as subcontractors, or regularly use subcontractors
  • Want less time spent searching, and more structure in how collaborations happen

How it works (in short)

  1. Create your company profile
  2. Add your trade, service area, and what you offer or need
  3. Find relevant companies and contact them directly
  4. Share the details you need and move quickly to an agreement

The goal is simple: less time searching, more time delivering.


Why we are doing this now

Platforms like this are all about the network.

The value increases a lot once enough reliable companies are active - locally and across trades. That’s why we are running this as a Founding 500 initiative: we want to reach critical mass quickly, and we want to do it together with companies who deal with these challenges every day.


Join the waiting list
