We’re very excited to announce our investment in Obran Cooperative. Obran is a worker-owned cooperative growing profitable, useful, and impactful businesses that serve its members, customers, and communities. The Obran team knows that the traditional methods of addressing income and wealth inequality—minimum wage, unions, progressive taxation, guaranteed income, and more—aren’t enough to bridge America’s inequality and wealth gap. Obran gives workers increased control and influence over business operations, leading to better social, financial, and long-term economic outcomes. How are they doing it? By building a business, platform, and community focused on worker-ownership—a proven path to economic stability and upward mobility for historically marginalized communities. At Acumen America we pride ourselves on impact. Obran makes life- and community-changing impact by giving workers more power and agency to break down America’s wealth gap and inequities. The company currently serves 500 workers across the country and will use new investment to expand further. Read more about Obran here: https://www.obran.coop/
