+> Exit to Community (E2C) is an effort to develop alternatives to the standard model of the startup “exit.” Rather than simply aiming for an acquisition by a more established company or a public stock offering, startups can mature into ownership by their community of stakeholders.

+> Open Collective is a **legal and financial**toolbox for grassroots groups. It’s a **fundraising + legal status + money management** platform for your community.
+
+Website: <https://opencollective.com>
+
+I’ve followed and used this platform for years and I highly recommend it for projects and collectives of all sorts. 
+
+[[Fission]] is a Fiscal Host, meaning we provide the backend for multiple collectives. 
+
+In Canada, [[Hypha Co-op]] is another. 
+
+> **Collaborate with money**
+> A shared account to fundraise and manage money, connect with your people, and more.
+
+Very much in line with my [[pooling capital and collaboration]]
+
+The organization is going through an [[Exit to Community]] process: <https://opencollective.com/e2c>
