Not-for-Profit Community Platform

The Good Market platform was started to increase the visibility of the broader movement, make it easier for people to get involved, and facilitate trade, collaboration, and collective action.

The goal is to highlight and support existing networks and community initiatives, integrate with other platforms and software tools, and serve as enabling infrastructure for the emerging movement.

Curation and Connection

The core of the platform is a curation process and crowdsourced monitoring system that works across economic sectors, organizational types, income levels, language barriers, and regional divides.

Current development is focused on supporting marketplace and community connections. The marketplace can be used for any kind of offer or opportunity. It is does not need to involve money. Social commerce and redirects are available now. Onsite payments are the next step.

Good Market followed a lean startup approach. It began in Sri Lanka in 2012 with no grant funding or external working capital.

The curation process and community were initially developed through weekly marketplace events, retail outlets, and an organic PGS. These social enterprises made it possible to start software development for the global platform in 2016.

In Sri Lanka? Want to start a similar initiative in your own community? Check out Local Resources for more on the events, shop, and organic PGS.
