Finally, there's a no-tech-knowledge-needed alternative to Etsy. I'm really excited about where this will go!

That's not even relevant as my initial comment had nothing to do with a handout, and only pointed out that $1,000 is a huge chunk of money for most, especially upfront for a completely untested marketplace intending to take on an industry leader for the interests of small-time makers and micro-businesses. Don't be childish.

Can it be, that you haven't read the article? Because in it, you'd find this passage

That’s when she found out that there are other ways to earn points toward member-ownership, making it more accessible to those who cannot afford a $1000 expenditure. This is referred to as sweat equity, where artisans earn 25 points per hour by contributing their skills to the co-op
