like 2x4 or universaleverything...know of others?
I'm looking for business models that are different from a traditional agency.

arent they more partners than collectives?
- monkeyshine0
yes...just looking for alternative models from the traditional agency. Another one I found is http://www.sidebarcreative.com/
Pentagram, of course, has a unique structure...partners bring in their own teams I think. I'd love to know how they define an equitable financial model.

the Keystone Design Union?

Thanks...Keystone is interesting. I'm looking for ones that share profits and are nimble enough to work independently or as a group.

you're not just thinking a company made up of individuals who function as a unit but lead freelance careers are you?
http://hyperakt.com/ would fit that bill, but maybe you're looking for something more defined?

I suspected, but wasn't sure, MrD.

Amper, yes, I'm looking for examples that work more cohesively. I'm not sure what exactly...closest I come are the examples I gave.
There is a core group (partners?) and then we will probably work with freelancers too...though I'd like to incorporate them into the model in a way that makes them a little more invested.
