Stories and strategies for community ownership
What is Exit to Community?
Most startups aim for one of two "exit" options: an acquisition by another company or a public stock offering. Both often pit founders and investors against the communities they claim to serve.
Exit to Community is a search for another way—a path where organizations can mature toward accountability and shared prosperity.
- Business purpose can align with ownership
- Founders and investors can let go when they need to
- Communities can protect the businesses they value
