Join our growing team!
Cooperatives for a Better World (dba Start.coop) is wholly dedicated to building an economy that shares prosperity among the many, not just the few. We envision a US economy in which 25% of new businesses are cooperatives by 2030.
Our focus is on cultivating the next generation of transformative cooperative businesses at scale, and we do this by:
Growing the entrepreneur pipeline and strengthening the cooperative ecosystem
Equipping cooperative entrepreneurs with the skills and tools for success
Connecting cooperative businesses with the capital they need to thrive
Since our founding, we have accelerated 40 start-ups, including The Driver’s Cooperative, which became the US’s largest worker cooperative, and Savvy Cooperative, which was the first cooperative to receive VC funding. We have developed and spun out a $2m equity fund for shared ownership, we have raised over $1.2m in philanthropic funding, and have generated significant national press coverage. And we’re just getting started.
