The Earned Governance
Accelerator

What We Are Doing

LinkedTrust is launching an Alpha Cohort of the Earned Governance Accelerator. We are bringing together technical teams for an intensive 4-week sprint to build their startups using a radically fairer model.

Instead of waiting for incorporation or giving away early control, teams use our custom AI-assisted toolkit. As participants complete peer-reviewed tasks, the system automatically converts their daily work into verifiable equity and voting weight.

Why It Matters

In the era of AI, the problem posed to workers is one of resource control. Mainstream accelerators concentrate ownership in the hands of a few founders and investors.

We are proving that shared-governance, worker-owned startups can bootstrap, compete, and sustain themselves. You are helping to pioneer a model where the people doing the work actually own the future they build.
