Name the company.
Start with a name and optional purpose. An empty company is a valid beginning.
VIRTUAL CORPORATION MANAGER
Big ideas
deserve
a team.
The open-source workspace for your virtual corporation.
Build a company around a real purpose. Add the people and AI agents you need, keep responsibilities clear, and return to the same structure on your machine.
Local-first · MIT core · Current public release: 0.1.0-alpha.9
SOLO. NEVER SMALL.Build what comes next.
FROM IDEA TO COMPANY
Make room
for the work.
VCM starts with the organization you actually need. Tasks, templates and runtime tools can follow; they are not prerequisites for a useful first company.
Add the team.
Bring people and AI agents into one visible structure with specific responsibilities.
Review and return.
Inspect a change before saving, reopen the same company and keep the context intact.
THE CURRENT PRODUCT
Your company.
People and agents together.
Alpha 9 is the current public corporation-management release. Keep members, responsibilities, reporting and relationships in one local workspace.
Corporation
Name the company and give it an optional purpose.
Members
Add humans and AI agents with clear responsibilities.
Relationships
Keep membership, reporting and company connections distinct.
Actual local UI with fictional data. This is not customer activity.
READY WHEN YOU ARE
Start on
your machine.
Company management and the Time Tracker need no VCM account or AI provider. Install the reviewed archive, open the local URL and create a company of your own.

OPTIONAL EXAMPLE
Start with one
useful project.
Patchwork Studio is a fictional release-notes project. Explore the roles, then adapt the structure to your own company.
Patchwork StudioThree peer roles · configuration only
GIVE THE ROLE A PURPOSE
Find the right starting point.
Clarify the next requirement. Bring back sources, a clear brief and the questions that still need an answer.
- Trace requirements to supplied sources
- Separate evidence from assumptions
Make the setup your own.
Get the exampleThis file contains configuration only. Importing it starts no work and books no hours.
How do I use the example?
- Install VCM using the current release instructions.
- Open Settings → Import a company definition and choose the downloaded JSON.
- Review the three roles and adapt their responsibilities to your project.
Optional execution needs a separately configured runtime and your own provider access. This page explores a saved team definition; it does not run agents.
ALREADY IN THE CORE
Keep work
records inspectable.
The existing Time Tracker keeps recorded hours, estimates, corrections, history and exports connected to the company and member that created them.
TIME TRACKER
Recorded delivery effortBooked hours describe human-equivalent effort. They are separate from model runtime, measured savings, invoices and accepted output.
Understand the boundaryOPEN SOURCE. OPEN POSSIBILITIES.
Built for people
who build.
Play 2 win.
Make something that matters.
Be adaptable.
New tools. New moves.
Never stop hacking.
Try it. Learn. Make it better.
Hackers first.
Curiosity is the entry ticket.
Be open.
Share what moves us forward.
GLOBAL BY DESIGN
The next team
can start anywhere.
The product name stays VCM. The invitation speaks like a real person in each market, so the idea travels without losing its energy.

Local language review is part of publishing. Product names, commands, versions and links stay exact.
A CLEAR MODEL
Structure first.
Execution when useful.
What VCM manages
Companies, members, responsibilities, reporting and relationships in local SQLite.
What remains optional
Runtime jobs and integrations need their own setup, access and evidence. A configured agent does not run automatically.
What the license means
The complete current core is MIT licensed. Future new Enterprise modules, if offered, are separate from this release.
WHEREVER YOU START
