Welcome to The Stakehold
Imagine if every time value gets created at our workplaces, in our neighborhoods, with our data, and in our public markets, people asked questions about ownership:
Who contributed to this?
Who is affected by this?
Who should have a say?
Who should get a stake?
Employee ownership is a fast-growing, widespread example of this shift to thinking about the stakeholders of a business, in addition to its shareholders.
The Stakehold includes top news and events in employee ownership and other parts of the ownership economy, including: purpose trust ownership, steward ownership, member-owned finance, consumer ownership, and workplace democracy. We’re based in and focus on North America but try to keep our head on a global swivel.

🔬 A little more history for the extra-curious
The Stakehold began as the newsletter of EO+WD, the Research Cluster on Employee Ownership + Workplace Democracy, to learn about and track developments in employee ownership, workplace democracy, and the ownership economy. It has since grown into an exploration of ownership, power, and governance across sectors, models, and movements.
