Coming in Q1 2026!
Venture Commons is our upcoming digital campus.
Venture Commons is meant to be a virtual host for collaborative efforts to build community-owned ventures that strengthen Montana’s economy. This integrated platform is where members connect, learn, and contribute to the cooperative’s growing resources, all while co-creating systems that keep wealth, jobs, and decisions local.
How We Learn & Build Together
Venture Commons offers two ways to participate in 2026, blending hands-on action with flexible, statewide collaboration:
Future Build (Missoula area)
Future Build is a collaborative studio focused on co-creating an adaptable neighborhood system that embodies sustainability, cooperative enterprises, and cultural perspectives. Participants work hands-on to design and prototype this model, creating resources and systems that can be replicated across Montana.CoBuild Community
The CoBuild Community invites participants from across Montana to engage in shaping cooperative ventures. Members contribute by testing tools, offering feedback, and participating in collaborative sprints, surveys, and pilot tasks.
