Global Online Incubator Platform Cooperatives

Reimagine the Platform Economy — from Anywhere on Earth

The world is waking up to a powerful truth:

"If we want a fairer digital future, we need to build platforms that are owned by the people who power them."

That’s where Co-opLeap’s Global Incubator comes in. This isn’t your typical startup accelerator.
We exist for the next generation of platform founders — people like you who want to build with purpose, distribute ownership, and create sustainable livelihoods in your community.

Our fully-virtual, globally inclusive incubator gives you the frameworks, tools, mentors, and peer community to turn your idea into a platform cooperative — a digital business that is owned, governed, and sustained by its users or workers.

A solopreneur or freelancer with a bold idea

A gig worker ready to build something better

A co-op leader looking to platformize services

A mission-driven technologist tired of building for VCs

An activist seeking a scalable, regenerative alternative
