You're not a user. You're a co-owner. The cooperative funds itself, governs itself, and improves itself. No investors. No ads. Just members.
1
Members join through their communities.
Scan a QR code, say the password. Choose reader or creator. You're in — and you're a co-owner. Your name goes on the cooperative register.
2
Creators pay €5/month. Readers are free.
200 creators = €1,000/month. That covers hosting, domains, and dev bounties. The co-op is self-funding from day one if the community is real. No ads needed. No investors needed.
3
Members vote. Weighted by role.
Creators, event planners, readers, devs — each class votes with different weight. Decisions are made through open-source governance tools. Not a board room. A cooperative.
4
The co-op improves the platform.
Members decide what gets built, what gets integrated, what gets changed. Bounties are posted for developers. The platform gets better because the people who use it are the people who own it.
5
Better platform attracts more communities.
Word spreads. More communities want in. More members means more revenue, more voices, better decisions. The cycle continues.
6
Every improvement benefits every member.
Because you co-own it, every feature built, every community added, every tool integrated — it all comes back to you. You share in the value. That's not a marketing line. It's a legal fact.
the cycle repeats — stronger each time
Voting power by class
Creators~40% · €5/mo · the heart of the platform
Event Planners~30% · scaled fee · they bring the gravity
Readers~20% · free · the audience every creator needs
Devs~10% · free · their contribution is the code
"I'm a co-owner of the social network I use."
That sentence doesn't exist anywhere else. It's a legal fact. Your name is on the register. You vote. You share in the value. CoopCycle proved this model works for delivery. This is the same model for creative communities.
