The Board of Incubator.Coop would like to invite you to join us for an online Pitch Night to hear from the Australian graduating participants of the global Platform Coops Now Program. For the past eight weeks, Incubator.Coop has been supporting seven Australian teams from across Australia to participate in this revolutionary global program to advance the development of platform cooperatives around the World, delivered in partnership with the New School and Mondragon University.

Following this Pitch Night, a number of these Australian teams will go on to complete a 12-week accelerator course delivered by Incubator.Coop to extend their learning and to accelerate the formation of exciting new platform cooperatives right here in Australia.

As a Member of Incubator.Coop you may be interested in working with and supporting these pre-formation businesses as they develop into Platform Cooperatives or you may just be interested to learn what is going on.

Tuesday 4th August 2020

6:30 - 7:30pm AEST

Zoom - https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84890284907

Please RSVP by Friday 31st July 2020.

Pitch Summaries:

FairBnB: Localising this Italian Platform Co-operative in Australian. It returns 50% of fees to the community where accommodation has been booked.

Loconomics: A 2-sided marketplace where locals can buy business services from locals. Loconomics takes less margin and offers advanced features for businesses providing local services.

Get.coop: There’s a growing demand for distributed organising software by Unions and similar member-owned organisations. Get.coop allows them to share and evolve this common asset on behalf of members.

Waste Logistics Platform: Only in the textbooks is the circular economy a connected economy. This platform addresses the issue of matching and logistics in “waste production” and demand with “next-markets”.

The Rural Woman: An existing 3000-strong community of female micro entrepreneurs transforming from a Corporation to a Member-owned organisation and sharing in the development and ongoing support of the digital platforms they support.

Artisanal B2B: Artisanal products can be packaged to complement each other and result in greater sales volume for participants. However consignment, escrow, trust, logistics, returns and other issues prevent this happening at scale. The proposed platform addresses these issues with an artisanal aesthetic / look and feel.

Community Media: Cooperatively-governed community-owned media platform aimed at regional areas that have seen their local papers close or go digital.
