The Software Cooperative Accelerator Program
We’re looking for our first set of Launch Partners for the Cooperative Accelerator.
Okay heres the pitch: You have an idea for a weird app to make the internet a better place? Join a cohort of other projects and we’ll work together and support each other to get our projects out into the world.
Working with Stucco Software as a partner in the Accelerator Program you get:
- A brand book outlining your projects visual language and identity.
- Integration with the Data Cooperative for authentication and data persistence for your app.
- Access to Stucco’s technical infrastructure, including:
- domains
- servers
- CI/CD pipelines
- serverless edge network
- hosting
- product analytics
- Access to Stucco’s business infrastructure, including:
- Open Collective Fiscal Hosting
- Stripe Product and Payment management
- Business organization and legal entity
- Bookkeeping and tax documents
- Business planning and forecasting
- Access to Stucco’s community and marketing efforts, including:
- Group advertising and marketing efforts
- Governance and community guidelines
- Technical and Product support from Stucco Software directly, letting you focus on building the app you want to build.
The goal of the accelerator program is to create a new ecosystem of applications and services that are equitable, ethical, and self-supporting. We’ll take you through our Software Co-Op Framework to help you establish yourself with everything you need to create and maintain your project.
Sell access to the app for a fixed or monthly cost, or set up a donation model if its open source. Stucco takes care of everything else, and when you’re ready we can set you up with our business lawyers and pass everything you need to your new co-op.
