We show that the category of partially ordered sets Pos is the free conservative cocompletion of the category of finite non-empty totally ordered sets Δ, also known as the simplex category.
This means that Pos is the initial cocomplete category that contains Δ as a full subcategory and preserves the existing colimits of Δ.
