How DonatePR works

What does exit to community mean?

Exit to Community (E2C) is an effort to develop alternatives to the standard model of the startup “exit.” Rather than simply aiming for an acquisition by a more established company or a public stock offering, startups can mature into ownership by their community of stakeholders.- Nathan Schneider, Director of the Media Enterprise Design Lab

We raised money from people who agreed:
  • Investors get paid back slowly and can’t make us exploit people to create huge profits.
  • Investors do NOT control the platform.
