At Zebras Unite, we believe that everyone has an equal right to imagine and create the future. We catalyze community, capital, and culture for people building businesses that are better for the world. We value truthfulness, mutualism, emergence, and fierceness.

Zebras Unite is now relaunching as a hybrid enterprise that embodies our vision and values: At its heart is a cooperative whose owner-shareholders are individuals and companies, founders, investors, and institutional partners. The CoOp operates an investment company, Zebras Unite Capital, and its mission is anchored by the “golden share” held by the Zebras Unite non-profit entity.

Are we a for profit or a non-profit? Are we a fund or co-op? Yes, we are all of it. We think it’s the perfect way for aligned leaders to invest treasure, talent, and time into a mutualistic model that redefines business as usual. We’re looking for founders and investors ready to roll up their sleeves and reimagine economic enterprises that will better serve ourselves, our stakeholders, our families, our communities, our planet, and our economy.

Please enjoy this broadcast of our kick-off event on 6 August 2020:  The future is cooperative(s): CoOps as vehicles of Economic Liberation

A conversation with cooperative lawyers and practitioners Lauren Ruffin and Jason Wiener about the structure, governance and economics of cooperatives, and why they are a vehicle for economic liberation . We'll be talking about Zebras Unite's own path to a cooperative model, as well as how they serve underrepresented entrepreneurs of all stripes.
