What if there were a third option, an "exit to community," in which a startup transitions to ownership by the people who rely on it most? Those people might be users, workers, customers, participant organizations, or a combination of such stakeholder groups. The mechanism for co-ownership might be a cooperative, a trust, or even crypto-tokens. The community might own the whole company when the process is over, or just a substantial-enough part of it to make a difference. These kinds of outcomes could help prevent the accountability crises that now beset today’s most successful venture-backed startups. In this participatory webinar, we'll hear from entrepreneurs, investors, and activists who are working to make exit-to-community a viable option in the startup economy. We will also work together to devise some plausible pathways for how such exits might become a reality. -**[REGISTER HERE](https://cloud.medlab.host/apps/forms/form/zPFAbjjeK4zguC2m) to receive participation details.** Registrants will receive a Zoom link before the event.
