The Small Business Problem

Small businesses and solopreneurs can offer exceptional value to the greater community, yet we face many hurdles along the road.

We’re at a disadvantage in comparison to larger corporations that benefit from economies of scale and can access tools, products, and services more easily. With limited access to resources, we often have little choice other than to tackle everything ourselves. We do our best, often with sub-par services or inefficient practices.

Our smaller teams often leave us feeling isolated or unsupported in our endeavors, increasing our risk of founder-burnout and venture failure.

Our Proposed Cooperative Solution Our proposed cooperative provides a platform for small business owners and solopreneurs to support one another in our various ventures in many ways.

We share our knowledge, skills, encouragement, and support freely among members to reduce both the feelings and tangible disadvantages of isolation.

We may choose to share the costs of quality products, services, or expertise in order to efficiently support our members’ businesses throughout their stages of growth.

We provide both financial and service/time-based options to contribute to the coop community so that neither a lack of money nor time will be a barrier to participating, giving, or receiving value. We see this time bank as an intregal part of this mission.

By combining our collective capital, skills, and expertise we become greater than the sum of our parts, and we all grow stronger together.

Our Promise: We only do WIN - WIN - WIN We only do business when you, we, and the greater community can come out better for our interaction. When we are enabled to put people before profits, everyone walks forward with a win-win-win.

Mission Statement
We provide a platform and infrastructure for small business owners and solopreneurs to support one another as we bring our uniquely valuable products and services to the community.
