“Exit to Community” is a strategy for bringing shared ownership, including platform cooperativism, into the mainstream startup economy. Above all, it is a shared story. It also involves identifying mechanisms for financing, ownership, and governance that can accommodate diverse conditions. This session will introduce startups that have used E2C practices to achieve practical goals. Participants will also gain hands-on experience with a new tool for mapping stakeholder relationships. Finally, learn how you can get involved in sneaking community ownership into startup-land.
