The Platform Cooperativism Consortium is a central hub for entrepreneurs, organizers, and existing businesses interested in creating or converting to platform cooperatives—democratically-owned online businesses. It provides the foundational knowledge and practical resources needed to develop an enterprise where ownership and control rest with the workers and users, not external shareholders. This resource is for anyone seeking a fairer alternative to conventional venture-backed platforms.

• Educational Courses and Events: Offers structured learning through courses and community events to build understanding of cooperative principles, governance, and digital platform development.
• Actionable Resources: Provides a library of guides, case studies, and tools covering the legal, technical, and operational steps for starting and growing a platform co-op.
• Global Community Network: Connects users with a worldwide movement of practitioners, offering insights from active platform co-ops across diverse sectors like childcare, recycling, and home services.
• Focus on Democratic Ownership: Centers on models where platform ownership is broad-based, governance is democratic, and technology is co-designed to serve stakeholder needs rather than maximize shareholder profit.
• Advocacy for Open Models: Promotes the use of open-source software and open data practices to lower barriers to entry and foster collaboration within the cooperative ecosystem.
