About

Just like you, there are others frustrated by "business-as-usual". They are frustrated by the "lip service" given to stakeholder engagement. Like when a company makes the statement "employees are our greatest asset" but they actually operate the opposite "employees are our greatest liability".

By contrast, there are organisations where stakeholders have an actual stake. These include:

> Companies using equity crowdfunding

> Co-operatives, where members are owners and

> Community Co-ownership structures

The best way for these people to meet, share ideas, expertise and discuss issues / challenges is via this first-of-a-kind event: Common Wealth.

Is This For You?

Stakeholders with an actual stake (shared ownership) impacts day-to-day operations, competitive advantage, governance, local economic development and more. The people dealing with these issues will be at Common Wealth.

Aligned investments in "stakeholders with an actual stake" brings down risks and localises returns. But, it also raises new issues at each stage of the business cycle i.e initial capital raising, growth funding and exit. The people raising funds and innovating in this space will be at Common Wealth.

Common Wealth is the place to explore these dynamics with pioneering like-minded people.

Is this the type of crowd that you want to spend time with? If the answer is "yes", then join in the conversation.
