Cooperative Content Corporation
CCC is developing a platform to support multiple user-­generated content sites. Users of these sites will be incentivized to create and submit content and engage with the content through a cooperative model of profit-sharing and ownership. Users will be able to see in real­time the equity and cash dividends their contributions have generated. Our algorithm will distribute compensation to our users (in cash and/or equity) according to the amount of engagement they drive. Profits will generally be retained by the company for reinvestment, though a periodic dividend may be paid to users. Initially revenue will be generated through ads; however, further down the line, sales of physical goods may be introduced. The site will initially launch with a number of verticals marketed under separate domain names.
