Yes, #Exit2Community / #e2c should definitely be pushed for. I'd love it if we could ever reach the point where it's the actual workers that get to decide, too -- as in, "We took a vote, and you are selling your company in its entirety to us at a fair market price now, to become a cooperative."
Definitely.
We also need to develop mechanisms by which founders of co-ops can be better rewarded if they take disproportionate risk/effort in the early stage.
It is one reason why I'm so optimistic about #exit2community movement. The founder starts off as a conventional company and then sells it to the workers/customers/etc. for a compensation they both agree on.
Ideally they would start off with a coop right away, but #E2C can be a more appealing approach for many.
Oceaneditors.com is looking for a new senior advisor. The ideal advisor is committed to the development of #workercoop enterprises and specifically the #exit2community #E2C structure, and can guide us in our objective to expand our client base within the academic science sector and beyond.
