COOPERATION
RICHMOND
Supporting democratically led businesses committed to shared leadership, equity, and collective decision-making.
Open Space Fridays are a dedicated time and space for entrepreneurs to develop their business ideas and receive support with specific business challenges.
You're welcome to drop in for free co-working, take meetings in our office spaces, browse our library focused on worker power and political economy, and enjoy snacks sourced from cooperative grocers.
If you’d like to schedule a one-on-one meeting to discuss a specific business challenge, email us in advance at info@cooperationrichmond.org with a brief description of the issue and your preferred meeting time. Meetings can be held in person or virtually.
