 As digital and tech entrepreneurs, we've all heard stories of toxic corporate culture, from Barpleys being a fine £2.1 billion for misbehavior to Uber being sued by its workers for exploitative employment practices. Start-ups are equally vulnerable to this aggressive investor-led culture that limits the voices of workers and consumers who are closest to the business. Platform cooperatives provide a welcome alternative, but many people don't understand what they are or even know that they exist. I'm Lynne. At our platform cooperative, The Open Food Network, we're using tech to create transformative food systems making social and ecological benefits a priority. The Open Food Network is a platform cooperative meaning that through our model of distributed ownership, those using the platform are in control. Our food producers can create an online shop, collect payments, sell through other shops on the platform and access reduce rate courier services. Wholesalers can manage buying groups and supply local produce through our national network of food hubs and shops. Whilst communities can bring together local producers to create virtual farmers markets, building a resilient local economy, this model allows us to create a workplace culture and business objectives that reflect the values of our members, better shape the customer experience and positively impact the sustainability of the service. We think all of tomorrow's platform businesses will require something similar to attract consumers and to be part of the solution rather than the problem.
