Collaborative Capital

2023 Version

A form of capital centered on true, open collaboration. It is distinguished from Open Source Capital in that collaborative capital must be informed by a moral case for solving pressing world issues. Otherwise it remains either just another way to make money (such as open source software) or impotent in terms of producing scalable transformation, such as the free software movement, environmental movement, or the appropriate technology movement). We make this distinction because open source is not necessarily collaborative, but collaborative capital must be both open source and collaborative.

We propose true collaboration towards Distributive Enterprise - a socio-technical movement that centers around creating a new economic paradigm based not on scarcity, but abundance mindset.
