What is a project?

A project is a company, community, brand, protocol, or partner your team wants to track inside CollabOS. Projects are the relationship layer of your workflow. Before a deal becomes active, the project is where your team stores the context, contact details, ownership, and follow-up direction tied to that opportunity.

Why projects matter

Projects help your team stay organized before, during, and after active outreach. A project gives your team one place to track:

  • who the target is
  • what ecosystem or category they belong to
  • who is managing the relationship
  • the current status
  • contact details
  • internal notes
  • follow-up timing

Without projects, teams often end up relying on memory, scattered notes, or chat history.

Projects vs deals

A project is not the same as a deal

Project

The relationship or target your team is tracking.

Deal

A specific opportunity, arrangement, or collab attached to that project. For example:

  • a gaming brand can be a project
  • a whitelist partnership with that brand can be a deal

One project can lead to multiple deals over time.
