Platform Cooperativism in practice: Fairmondo – Crowdfunding to avoid the venture capital trap

Fairmondo, the online-marketplace owned by its users, invites to an open discussion on making platform cooperativism happen. The event will focus on the challange of independent financing sources for platform coops and in particular the instrument of crowdfunding/crowdinvesting.

In case you wonder what platform cooperativism is all about, please read this article by Trebor Scholz. „Platform cooperativism, says Trebor, is about cloning the technological heart of online platforms and puts it to work with a cooperative model, one that puts workers, owners, communities, and cities – in a kind of solidarity that leads to political power.“

Workshop language: German and / or English, depending on the preferences of the participants

Please note that this event won’t be held at SUPERMARKT, but at FAIRMONDO: Fairmondo eG, Glogauer Str. 21, 10999 Berlin
