Comment on Ask HN: Why does tech industry not have more co-ops?

Comments

Co-ops primarily are a way of funding local infrastructure that serves small businesses and communities when there is not a viable ROI for commercial banks or existing businesses: for example grain elevators, rural electrical service, grocery stores etc.

“Tech” (whatever that is) probably tends not to have cooperatives because it does not have a similar combination of conditions.
