“To me, steward-ownership is a way for our society to get all the benefits of capitalism and free markets while remedying their negative effects.”
“Purpose provides a new model for the social enterprise sector, which is hungry for alternative ownership structures”
"Self-ownership can help companies to stay mission driven and independent for the long term."
"Purpose brings a rich management philosophy that is post-ideology, weaving together the best from capitalism, cooperatives, startup culture, and democratic organizing."
