Join Techne

Techne is a cooperative workshop in Boulder: many crafts, one roof, owned by the people who use it. There is more than one way in, and two of them are taking applications now, no invitation needed. The instrument that governs both, the Hub Participation Agreement, is drafted and still with counsel. Cooperative membership, the ownership class, grows out of roughly ninety days of participation. Compare the classes, costs, and rights on the ways in; the Participation Framework itself is drafted, unadopted, and not published, and it is listed with every other instrument on the legal shelf. This form opens your intake record either way, and a steward replies by email.

A vote, a capital account, a share in the results. Begins with participation; the board may invite after about ninety days; the invitation is the board's to give, and Bylaws §1.3.3 adds payment for the stock and full execution before membership is effective. Investboard terms Investor Member. Capital with a stake, not a vote. Terms are set by the Board; this opens the conversation.
