About

Cooperation … is the process of groups of organisms working or acting together for their common/mutual benefit, as opposed to working in competition for selfish benefit.

The company

Based in Portland, Oregon, Cooperation is an employee scheduling automation system for businesses with better things to do. Simply answer a short series of questions and Cooperation's software can create an easily managed schedule no matter how many employees your organization has. Plus, the system enables your employees to easily communicate, exchange shifts, and track their hours.

The people

Paul DeBruicker is the founder and CEO of Cooperation. After a summer scheduling 320 shifts a day at a camp, Paul set out to create a simple but ridiculously smart scheduling solution anyone could use in any industry. Paul is an experienced engineer, with a background in creating real solutions for real problems, from coconut fueled power plants to smokeless wood-burning stoves to software that fills an existing need (versus creating one you didn't know you had). When he's not building useful things, Paul is a globetrotter, hiker, and a friend to the people he meets along the way.
