What obligation do #platformcoops have to operate at the same scale as or even outperform their venture capital funded corporate counterparts? If a #platformcoop does not succeed in having a similar reach as major corporations with comparable features, should it be considered "low quality" or are there other standards of success worth considering?
🎵 @mirlo is an incredible #PlatformCoop for musicians, and they're running a crowdfunding campaign now! They're incorporating democratic decisionmaking from the start and have created a really slick platform to rival Bandcamp. What I love most is that it's run by musicians and those with deep ties in their local #music scenes. As Spotify tightens the screws on smaller artists, it's time for some more platforms to flourish. #musodon https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mirlo/mirlo?ref=8qnosr
I'm not sure whether this co-operative music platform is a go-er, so I want the rules and structure to be as equally "minimally viable" as the code. At the same time I think it's important to start on a firm governance footing that can grow and change as we do.
Question for #coop people : I want to improve the langauge on how #CoSocialCa talks about member share purchase and the annual dues we ask people to pay. Do you have any great examples of how #cooperative / #platformcoop have done this?
