Looks like #ZTN made $300 in 2022 (ZTN is the original S-Corp I had founded when I first started #Consulting, it's what I used to incubate and launch both #Cohere and #ZincCoop; as well as to make investments in #DriversCoop, #EBPREC, and other #BIPOC-owned businesses.

It serves as the entity-of-record for 2 of my longest-term software delivery clients (9? and 5 years, respectively!) and #MomentPark.

Most of its expenses are pass-through payments to #Cohere and #ZincCoop.

Continuing our product and operational transparency tradition, we've published the Q4 2022 #ZincCoop Community Update!

It includes our unaudited annual financials, as well as updates on #Convene, #MomentPark, our #EachOneTeachOne programs, and more!

Thank you for your support and thoughtful questions over the last few months!!!

None are free until all are free; so let's liberate the digital economy from grifters and exploitative actors together!

#ZincCoop has done a "Conversion" where we acquired assets from an existing business (#MomentPark), and released them into the #Cooperative Domain.

However our current revenues aren't sufficient to sustain development outside of "hacking on the weekend" kind of schedule.

#Introduction!

I'm Zee, I've been working in #Cooperatives since 2017, when I quit working in #FinTech and launched #Cohere with three colleagues.

In 2019 I launched #ZincCoop, a Contributor and Maintainer owned #Cooperative. We acquired #MomentPark, and released it to the public domain; and are building #Convene, a federation-forward operating system for the Digital Solidarity Economy.

For a while now, #ZincCoop has had a #MomentPark open collective, and when people email about bugs or feature requests, I catalog the request by adding it to our issue tracker and respond with a link to the issue and an explanation that we're all basically volunteers; and link to the Open Collective.

We're now at ~$100/yr in recurring revenue from folks who are simply happy to support our continued maintenance efforts!
