We Build Cooperatively-owned Tools and Technologies


roots.coop is forming as cooperative infrastructure for tomorrow’s economy


Our Foundation

Roots Cooperative operates as a member-owned trust established as a Limited Cooperative Association in Colorado. We develop, maintain, and steward technology assets designed specifically to serve community-based economies. Our cooperative represents a fundamental shift from conventional technology paradigms—moving from extraction to regeneration, from dependency to sovereignty.

Our Mission

We exist to transform the relationship between communities and the technology that mediates their economic activities. By creating collectively owned technology infrastructure, we enable communities to shape their own economic interactions without dependence on corporate platforms that extract value rather than circulate it.

Become a Member and Co-owner

By becoming a member of Roots Cooperative, you acquire a real economic stake in our growing tools and technology portfolio. Your one-time membership share grants you co-ownership rights and opportunities to participate in our patronage system.

As our technology assets generate more value for communities, the economic returns to our members increase proportionally.

This model creates alignment between contribution, ownership, and economic benefit—a fundamental shift from traditional technology development approaches
