Since its introduction in the mid-1970s, millions of employees have benefited from being co-owners of the companies where they work. But ESOP formation has slowed in recent years, and it has come with shortcomings. A new generation of lawyers, investors, and worker advocates has been exploring new strategies for broad-based ownership—potentially serving employees, contractors, and community stakeholders. Many of these involve reworking the mechanics of the trust, the legal structure at the heart of the ESOP. In this interactive webinar, we'll hear from some of the leaders of this emerging conversation about the promise and pitfalls of new strategies for democratic ownership. diff --git a/_posts/2019-09-04-system76.md b/_posts/2019-09-04-system76.md index 0e32033..e35d7a3 100644 --- a/_posts/2019-09-04-system76.md +++ b/_posts/2019-09-04-system76.md @@ -5,18 +5,13 @@ title: "Field Trip to System76" summary: Visit a company that designs and builds open-source computers in Colorado tags: [events] event-date: September 27, 2019 +event-time: 12 p.m. - 2 p.m. event-location: Denver, CO --- -**Visit a company that designs and builds open-source computers in Colorado** - -September 27, 2019 -12 p.m. - 2 p.m. -(Those carpooling meet at the Armory parking lot at 11 a.m.) - Most of the computers we use were built far away, often under questionable conditions.

These computers are open hardware and run the company's own Linux-based, open-source operating system.

Mara Zepeda is working to change that. As CEO of her own startup, Switchboard, and co-founder of the Zebras Unite network, she is opening the doors of startup finance and culture to a much broader range of founders and communities. Come for an open conversation on how to foster truly inclusive entrepreneurship.
