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.

The problem
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.
Mission
A public benefit experiment in building better organizations
Heirloom is a Public Benefit Company building infrastructure for people to build better businesses together.
Heirloom is designed to be a home for your organization's ideas, work, decisions, and history, not just another tool you use. We want to help you build shared context and a stronger ownership culture over time. Heirloom helps you
- Keep decisions and responsibilities visible.
- Make participation easier across stakeholder groups.
- Keep momentum with clear follow-through.
- Preserve context as the organization grows.
We're not trying to add bureaucracy. We're trying to protect the work, the context, the decision record, and the people behind it.
How Heirloom helps
A flexible operating loop for participatory organizations.
Every Loom connects the conversation, decision, task, and context behind a piece of work.
Tasks + follow-through
Keep tasks, owners, and next steps connected to the decision context behind the work.
Decision records + idea history
Proposals, discussions, reasoning, and changes stay attached to the work so people can understand what happened.
Stakeholder alignment
Help boards, committees, teams, members, advisors, and leaders work with the right level of visibility.
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.
Why it’s different
Why not just Notion + Slack + Asana?
Those tools store pieces of work. Heirloom focuses on the layer where conversations become decisions, decisions become owned work, and the record stays visible.
“On Heirloom, the discussion, decision, owner, and follow-through can stay connected instead of scattering across tools.”
Decision context
“Heirloom is not trying to replace every tool your organization already uses. It helps preserve the record around shared work.”
Focused coordination layer
Product
A flexible operating loop for participatory organizations.
Teams can start with simple coordination, then add structure for boards, committees, member groups, proposals, voting, and decision records when it helps.
Workspace overview
Current priorities, stakeholder activity, and governance context in one place.
Follow-through board
Owners, statuses, and next steps tied back to decision context.
Decision record
Proposal details, voting, reasoning, and activity in one place.
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.
Founder-led setup while pricing is still being shaped
We're still shaping pricing around how organizations actually use Heirloom: coordination, governance context, stakeholder participation, contribution visibility, and internal decision-making. Early teams get founder-led setup and direct support as we learn what works.

FAQ
Quick questions
The things teams ask before they commit to a shared system.
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?
