Zebras Unite Co-Op

Zebras Unite Co-Op
Are you looking for new models to build business — with real-life zebras instead of fantastical unicorns? #ZebrasUnite #DazzleCon23 starts tomorrow, with CC's CEO Catherine Stihler's keynote on Sat 21 Oct in Washington DC 🏛️
I'd love to see meetup.com live on as a #coop!

I really believe the #cooperative business model is how we win this war on #capitalism.

Building accountability into startups and avoiding user-serving companies becoming zombies to investors. Strategies:
* user buyout: a trust or co-ops buys all shares on behalf of users. User representation and/or shared profits. #NIO gave shares to user trust.
* federation: #VISA as cooperative of user businesses. Voluntary (#ActivityPub etc.) or through AntiTrust action.
* tokenization: ownership is traded as crypto-tokens, under company control, or permisionless.
