Catalyzing worker co-ops & the solidarity economy

Two New Cool Co-op Websites

There are two new websites in the global coop online ecosystem that deserve more attention:

Co-op Crowdfunding Monitor seeks to collect all crowdfunding campaigns for co-ops across different platforms (whether they are in GoFundMe or CrowdFunder) in one place. It also has a Twitter account called “Co-op Crowdfunding Alerts” which tweets every time a new campaign is added to the website.

I came up with this simple idea a short time ago and want to thank Platform6 and especially Graham Mitchell for implementing it. As the website expands we will most likely have more sophisticated categorisation - such as separating permanent funding pages (such as Patreon or PayPal links) with temporary crowdfunding campaigns, as well as separating campaigns according to requirements for donors (some crowdfunding platforms might only allow people of certain countries to donate, for example) and whether the money will be an investment or a donation.

[...]

Democratic Jobs is a website for job offers in worker owned cooperatives across the world. The simplicity of the idea is what makes it so brilliant; it enables people to look for or submit a job offering in a worker owned coop alongside uploading your CV on the site.
