CrowdWork.Coop

CrowdWork DC LCA

CrowdWork DC LCA (CrowdWork.Coop) is a Limited Cooperative Association based in Washington, DC.

We operate as a worker-owned cooperative to provide each other and our customers business support and professional services – locally, regionally, nationally, and globally.

CrowdWork seeks to enable resilient pathways to growth for small businesses, freelancers, entrepreneurs and underrepresented communities by providing access to world-class business support services, partnerships and contract opportunities.

We support democratizing business ownership, self-management, revenue generation, and skilled professionals to support a future worker-owned economy.

Meet Our Founding Team

We are an experienced, multi-faceted, and dynamic team.

Denia Duran

Denia Durian has been offering back office services that range from bookkeeping to contract compliance in DC since 2010, via her LLC, Duran Management LLC. She has been the critical back office support for many disadvantaged and immigrant businesses in DC. As a worker owner of CW, Denia has taken responsibility for bookkeeping and contract compliance for CW projects. As a founding member of CW, she has had the opportunity to engage in setting up more complex administrative systems and design trainings to share her knowledge. That’s an example of how CW members can level up their skills and experience when working on larger collective projects.

Pacyinz Lyfoung

Pacyinz Lyfoung just started her solo law practice in DC, The Inclusive Economies Law Practice, after a long hiatus from the practice of law, during which she acquired other skill sets that enable her to strategize and problem-solve with her clients in holistic ways. As a worker owner of CW, she contributes her analytic, system-thinking, strategic project design and legal knowledge to build innovative infrastructure and service delivery. As a founding member of CW, she has had the opportunity to craft internal policies and procedures that match the needs and values of CW and customers, as well as design innovative legal education trainings for non-attorneys, including more participatory trainings meeting the needs of language access and neurodivergent participants where she can use some artistic skills (see the attached new logo she recently designed for her law practice). That’s an example of how CW members can put to good use their other skills and expertise with a related-business entity when their own solo business may not utilize the full range of their skills.

Brandon Dube

Brandon Dube works for a large consulting firm. However, he belongs to several worker cooperatives, one of which is CW. He has a passion for sociocratic governance and expertise in technology-based project management. As a worker owner of CW, he has grounded CW in sociocratic governance, while further developing as a sociocratic facilitator and trainer. As a founding member, he has also connected various sociocratic freelancers and worker owners from different companies get paid and unpaid hands-on experience as they are starting up on their entrepreneurial journeys. That’s an example of how CW members can slowly build their experience and expertise as alternative small business owners and entrepreneurs, while keeping their fulltime jobs.

Justin Franks

Justin Franks has been offering turnkey digital services and tools in DC since 2017, via his LLC, progressiveDC LLC. He is the website designer and manager for several cooperative businesses in DC. As a worker owner of CW, Justin has provided consistent attention to operational details and diplomatic connections to key stakeholders in the DC cooperative ecosystem. As a founding member, he also shares and uses the server infrastructure of CW to power the DC Cooperative Stakeholders Newsletter which is a joint project of CW via his solo involvement and of the US Federation of Worker Cooperatives’ Guilded Freelancers Cooperative Initiative. That’s an example of how CW founding worker owners can leverage the resources of their worker cooperative to enhance their own solo business projects.
