Global Platform CO-OPs Democratising Platform Capitalism

The Platform Co-op Venture Builder is an initiative by 4IR 4ALL Ltd—a UK-based tech non-profit—to empower solo founders around the world to launch high-impact, for-profit startups structured as multi-stakeholder cooperatives.

These are global startups, owned not by VC firms, but by the very people who build, use, and support them—workers, consumers, and communities.
