Explored the idea of starting a tech coop myself. Haven't really went into too much theory because it felt off. Already established tech coops are closed, have a steady income, started as a group of close friends and they most probably just profit from calling themselves a coop. In reality, you will fail hard and fast trying to find the right people who will accept working on their time to share income with some hippy dude sketching out some figma designs when he happens to be awake. I'd better start a company and learn how to add a profit margin to other people's work
