Course Description

When markets fail and safety nets of governments, communities, and families break down, people cooperate. When governments do not invest enough to stop structural inequalities and racism, regulate big tech companies, and create digital infrastructure, what do people do? What choice do they have but to turn to each other?

In moments of crisis like this, things that had been considered impossible can become common sense: The Great Depression gave rise to the original New Deal. Platform co-ops can be the new common sense, providing better livelihoods now!

This course equips participants with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed as cooperative entrepreneurs in the fast-growing gig economy. It allows learners to study and get involved with a generation of young "teampreneurs."
