Cocreate

Good Market is shared infrastructure for the new economy movement. It has been developed by and for the people who use it.

Networks, enterprises, and individuals that contribute resources or time are recognized as Cocreators and are able to participate in decision making and governance.

Want to become a Cocreator? Contribute resources through supporter payments, subscription payments, or investment. Contribute time by inviting new initiatives that are good for people and the planet, participating in the community translation project, or serving on the curation council.

Resources

Support

Good Market is registered as a 501(c)3 not-for-profit social enterprise. That means there is a self-sustaining revenue model, but all profits are reinvested towards the mission. If you are able to make a one-time or monthly contribution, you will be recognized as a Cocreator.

View and Manage Payments

If you have a Good Market Approved enterprise, you can subscribe from your enterprise account page. Subscription payments cover the actual costs of maintaining platform services.

Invest

As a not-for-profit organization, Good Market does not have private shareholders and cannot take equity investment. Initial development of the community platform was financed through revenue and an early round of community bonds. Good Market approved enterprises and networks are able to request and invest in additional functionality. If you have an idea for additional functionality or would like to be updated on the next round of community bonds, get in touch.

Time

Invite

The new economy movement is highly networked. Most participants know other initiatives and enterprises in their local area or in their sector. They supply, source from, and partner with mission-aligned groups and they come together in events, membership organizations, and other networks.

If you know enterprises or initiatives that are good for people and good for the planet, you can invite them to apply to become Good Market Approved. If you help three or more enterprises complete the curation process, you will be included as a Cocreator.

Translate

The community translation project helps make Good Market accessible to more people. If you are able to help add a new language or improve existing translations, get in touch.

Curate

The minimum standards, curation process, and crowdsourced monitoring system were developed and refined through four years of weekly meetings before the system went online. The community members that participated in this process are recognized as Cocreators.

In 2023, a curation council will be established to assist the curation team in the rare cases that a new issue arises with an application or flagging review. The curation council will include Good Market Approved enterprises with expertise in key sectors including Food and Agriculture, Personal Care, and Apparel and Housewares. They will be recognized as Cocreators for their contribution.
