==Directory of [[Platform Cooperatives]]==

Via J.Nathan Mathias' [https://civic.mit.edu/blog/natematias/what-is-platform-cooperativism-and-why-is-it-important review of Trebor Scholz inaugural lecture] at the [[Platform Cooperativism]] conference:

===[[Cooperative Online Labor Brokerages and Marketplaces]]===

* In Germany, Fairmondo started as a global marketplace owned by its users -- like a co-operative ebay. 

* In SF, Loconomics is a freelance co-operative where freelancers have shares and have a voice in running the company.


===[[Produser-Owned Platform Cooperatives]]===

These sites, 

* like Resonate (music), 
* Members Media (film), and 
* Stocksy (stock photography), 

allow producers to co-own the platforms to which they are selling their work. The objective of these co-operatives are to create careers for their producers, who co-own systems.

===[[City-Owned Sharing and Exchange Platforms]]===


Trebor notes that even in the US, cities own hotels, hospitals, and many public services. He describes work by Janelle Orsi to imagine publicly-owned platforms: muni-bnb would be a city-owned airbnb system that invests profits into city projects. all-bnb would be modeled after the Alaska Permanent Fund and would pay residents for the profits made by sharing hosting. Another idea is the "sharing city" Seoul, who offer a city-operated taxi hailing system.


===[[Union-Backed Cooperative Platforms]]===

* The California App-Based Drivers Association unionizes drivers who participate in sharing economy platforms. 

* In New Jersey, the Union Taxi Cooperative also operates its own platform.
