Interesting story about Loomio, Democracy @ work
Starting a business is a huge challenge -- tackling it is better done together.
Earlier this month we spoke with Alanna Krause, co-founder and cooperative member of Loomio, a free online software platform with roots in the Occupy movement designed to help large groups of people make decisions virtually. She gave us insight into the benefits of starting a business as a worker cooperative: “We love being a coop. I can’t imagine owning a startup by myself and feeling all the pressure just on my own shoulders. A startup is a roller-coaster ride, financially and psychologically; as a coop, we look after each other and share the load.”
In the second part of their profile, we go further into depth about Loomio’s challenges and successes as an online software startup.
We also welcome you to join Democracy at Work’s Loomio page and join in on the conversation. Did you miss Part I of Loomio's Coop Profile? Read the profile from the beginning here.
