My goal is to raise $10,000 and split it into 4-5 microgrants.

Ideally I'd like to have at least one be a person who hasn't started a project yet, so that this is the boost they need to get going.

FWIW people like me need LAWYERS as well if not more than just the money

1. IP lawyers to help secure trademarks, logos & domain names; that understand the dynamics of getting them and how difficult it is to secure that from squatters/extortionists. know too many black folks like me who lost domains due no $ nor lawyers

2. lawyers to incorporate; especially with COOP experience.

and with that

3. we need coop mentors; to help structure the work & sustainability

@blogdiva @tchambers @evan @eveiswurzig

We found a great coop mentor and coop lawyer for Immers Space that helped us develop our cooperative model, write bylaws, and get incorporated.

Are you US-based?

@datatitian I didn't know or I forgot you were a coop. Is Immers Space LWCA your legal name? Are all coops LLC in Illinois?

@nemobis there are a few different ways to organize a coop under more general business types, but the LWCA is the only one just for worker cooperatives. It's only been available for a few years

@datatitian Interesting, thanks!
