As far as I'm concerned, talking about "Post-growth entrepreneurship" is a little like talking about "Non-lethal assassination"...You need to re-examine your terms and the systems of assumptions and associations which enable those terms to be meaningful.

Didn't Nathan Schneider put in his bio he was a serial entrepreneur? Coop-wise, that's a life goal honestly. Coop all the things!

Every definition of "entrepreneur" I can find involves an (heroic) individual... but I don't want the future of co-operativism to depend in any way on that sort of romantic individualism.I want co-operatives to, instead, develop collective modes of deliberation and consensus building, with as little institutionalization of power structures and as little reliance on charismatic personalities as possible.

@baslow @af I recently came across this website and it really made me cringe: https://nonprofit.ventures
As someone who used to identify as a "social entrepreneur" in a past life, I really don't understand people who seem to share similar values/goals but still feel the need to hold on to the loaded language of the hegemony.
Just peeked at the site.As my grandmother used to say: "Oy gevalt!"
