At Deals Colony, we don’t hire—we collaborate. Our purpose-led projects are powered by a flexible network of over 50 independent contributors—students, professionals, creatives, and micro-businesses—who engage through paid, skill-building, or barter-based opportunities. This lean, low-risk model ensures impactful delivery for clients and CSR teams without formal employment arrangements. We prioritise passion over profit, with most contributions offered in-kind and programs led for fulfilment—not salary. Every collaboration builds real-world portfolios, strengthens inclusion, and supports our circular, regenerative mission. Every project is delivered with care, clarity, and accountability—ensuring professional outcomes without the legal or financial complexities of traditional workforce models.

👩‍💼 From Hobby to Impact: A Founder’s Journey

What started as a one-day school market store—sparked by a love for deal-hunting and a desire to earn flexibly—has grown into 50+ passion-led brands, co-created with families, friends, collaborators, students, and seniors across Australia. Founder Monika K, once navigating a structured IT career, used hobbies and life experiences to build Deals Colony’s unique model: a digital-first, barter-inspired, and inclusive platform that helps others do the same—turning passions into projects, and ideas into income.

 

🌀 How We Work: Our Theory of Change in Action

Hobbies, Lived Experience & Passions → Co-Created Trial Projects → MVPs & Side Hustles → Capacity-Building, Storytelling, Circular & Barter-Inspired Collaboration →  Community Wellbeing, Inclusive Social Innovation & Future Readiness

By combining purpose with practical tools, we reduce skill and emotional waste, boost wellbeing and financial inclusion, and activate untapped potential in every home.

 

💬 Why Deals Colony?

At Deals Colony, we don’t operate like a traditional business. Instead, we grow through a flexible, values-led collective of external consultants, collaborators, and purpose-driven individuals—what we call our Uniquely Structured Team. This model helps us stay agile, inclusive, and community-focused—while delivering real, scalable, and social impact projects.

​

From Homegrown Ideas to Global Impact

It all started during COVID... Our founder Monika launched a simple one-page “COVID Project” with wellbeing tips and Zoom sessions.

•  50+ people connected in just weeks

• Featured in a community magazine (Neighbourhood Watch Australasia - NHWA)

• Sparked live chats, new ideas, and online income

Those grassroots efforts laid the foundation for what you see today—a thriving platform that has supported:

✅ 500+ individuals

✅ 60+ passion projects

✅ 40+ profile-matched real-world experiences in one year

✅ 30+ community collaborations

Why Teaming Up Works

I walked away from a full-time IT job to create this movement. Why? Because too many people had brilliant ideas but had:

🚫 No support

🚫 No confidence

🚫 No money to invest

So, I created a platform where they could test and launch with support.

At Deals Colony, we offer:

✔️ Mentoring

✔️ Tools & Training

✔️ A Flexible Remote Work Setup

✔️ Team Support & Accountability.​
