Who is Co-opLeap
Reclaiming The Platform Economy
Failed Promise of the Platform Economy
- The 4th Industrial Revolution sparked hope for democratization of entrepreneurship through platforms like Uber, Airbnb, and TaskRabbit.
- The early rhetoric promised flexible work, decentralized opportunity, and inclusive prosperity.
- However, the promise was not realized.
Platform Economy Hijacked by VCs
- Venture capital interests dominated the Platform Economy, prioritizing growth, scalability, and investor returns over worker rights and ownership.
- Labor was reclassified as "gig work," intensifying labor exploitation and systemic inequalities.
Platform Co-ops: The Future of Platform economy
Platform cooperatives offer a scalable, ethical, and globally relevant solution to reclaim the promise of digital innovation. They stand at the intersection of technology, justice, and democracy.
It’s time to redirect our tools to serve people—not just profit. The cooperative digital economy isn’t just possible—it’s essential.
