Ask HN: Startup as a worker cooperative?

by not_a_test_user on 5/31/14, 11:47 PM with 5 comments

The longer I work for someone else the more interested I become in alternatives for my future.

Worker cooperatives seem ideal from my perspective: all worker-owners decide together what are the business priorities, everyone shares both profits and losses, etc.

The thing I'm not sure about is applying this kind of thing to a startup or even a web dev agency.

Any opinions or experiences?
