August 2026 Bulletin
Building digital trust together

Deep tech. Human trust.
Signed & verified.

Credible. Portable. Validated. Every story in this bulletin is a claim the cooperative actually shipped — products live, proposals submitted, and a summit on the calendar. This is what a verifiable track record looks like.

CLAIM #007 · workers.vc Live

workers.vc — where work becomes ownership

workers.vc is the home of the Earned Governance Accelerator: technical teams bootstrapping fairer, worker-owned startups. Our AI-assisted toolkit turns daily peer-reviewed work into verifiable equity and voting power — the cooperative model we live, offered as a platform.

"We're great at building. Now we're learning how to do the show."

The Alpha Cohort presents its results at the Ownership Economy Summit in Manhattan on October 1st. Send workers.vc to a founding team that deserves to own what they build.

📣 Announcements

☁

Atmosphere Conference — two proposals submitted

LinkedClaims over ATProto for decentralized reputation, and "ATProto is Kafka." Fingers crossed — either talk puts LinkedClaims in front of the decentralized-social community.

🤝

Accepted into the You.com Startup Program

$1,000 in API credits, earned on the strength of our financial-risk AI agent and civic-tech transparency use cases. Intro call with their enterprise team is being scheduled.
