Greaterthan Collective is a remote-first organisation, with members scattered across the globe. Therefore we have always aimed to find flexible structures that can meet the needs of people in many locations, while also creating regional entities when deemed necessary.
Greaterthan currently operates through the following legal entities:
: our "mother entity" that is used for the majority of our global operations | founded May 2018
: our first regional entity | founded September 2021
: charitable association | entity transitioned from Ouishare Germany in January 2025

Therefore we apply the principle of only creating new legal entities when there is a clear and strong need for them (rather than anticipating the need or having the wish for a certain governance). Some of the reasons for creating a country specific entity may be having a critical mass of active members or clients in one location, running a large amount of in-person activities (events, retreats) in one place that require VAT registration, or gaining access to grant and funding opportunities.
The creation of a new entity is considered a, and thus the creation of the entity in and adoption of the were decided on Loomio by consent with Greaterthan partners and associates.
