As a multi-stakeholder cooperative, Forte Creative Group is built to align the interests of a diverse community with a common goal: supporting emerging music. This does not mean a well-crafted marketing campaign reflecting the ideals of that community. It means the company is actually owned by that community.
The cooperative bylaws require that a majority of membership shares and seats on the Board of Directors always be held by the artists (producer-members). This ensures that the direction of the cooperative is always consistent with its mission and long-term vision.
As a supporter of the cooperative, you can participate in working toward that mission by becoming an investor-member and buying a portion of a community membership share. These shares will be offered through a Title III Crowdfunding round on an SEC-Regulated crowdfunding platform in August 2021, and will fund the development of Forte’s core platform that will launch in January 2022. Investor-members may participate in the governance of the cooperative by running for a seat on the Board of Directors and voting on certain measures at the annual member meeting, and are integral to the long-term success of the company.
