Imagine if gig workers like rideshare drivers or grocery shoppers were compensated for their labor through ownership stakes in the Lyfts and Instacarts of the world.

Start.coop is an accelerator for startups that are doing just this—reimagining concepts like scale, investment, and governance under a cooperative ownership structure, and trying to create a more equitable economic system in the process.Show NotesExit to Community - 00:13Start.coop | Twitter | LinkedIn - 00:37Greg Brodsky on Twitter | LinkedIn - 00:54Greg's dad, Howard Brodsky - 1:25Greg was on the board of directors of the Cooperative Development Institute, a nonprofit for coops - 1:38Start.coop's graduates - 2:29Jessica Mason on Twitter | LinkedIn - 2:5440 Acre Cooperative - 5:31The U.S. Federal Reserve says the typical white American family has 8x the wealth of the typical Black family - 6:50Equitable Economy Fund - 7:20Driver's Seat Cooperative - 11:11Twitter discussion about imagining Apple as a coop - 12:56
