The future is
human connection.
A community of artists, builders, and makers — curated by Dom Sagolla, and on the road to becoming an Artist Corporation where creators keep control of what they make.
Relationships are the only real moat.
When generation is free, the only thing that cannot be automated is the judgment of trust — the irreducibly human act of deciding who to trust with the good things you make.
The people who build systems that honor that judgment will have something that cannot be copied: the trust network itself.
On the road to an Artist Corporation
The Cooperator is an unincorporated community project with a longer intention: to become an Artist Corporation — a new kind of company built so the people who make the work keep control of it. The idea is still early, and we're shaping our own version of it in the open.
Creators keep control
The people who make the work keep the controlling share of it.
IP reverts to creators
We license what you make — and it comes back to you.
Licensing, not acquisition
We license IP from artists, builders, and makers — we don't buy them out.
Still taking shape
A nascent idea, on the road to becoming an Artist Corporation.
The Ecosystem
Graduates become mentors, partners, and ecosystem participants.
