416Direct Disrupting the Disruptors... Together. First global buying group to help small businesses compete head to head with the Amazons of the world.

Businesses enjoy a free online storefront and app, with discounted delivery through Local Driver Co-op. Direct Global is a technology company focused on developing and operating platforms that allow purchasers to leverage their collective purchasing power to reduce the cost of procuring raw materials, finished goods and services. The company’s proprietary web-based platform enables organizations t

o create opportunities in real time for joint purchasing to harness their collective purchasing power. Direct Global Buying Corp. has 20,000 small and medium sized businesses collectively buying and selling within its network and taking advantage of their collective pricing power. With a background in advocating for ‘mom and pop shops’, Direct Global focuses on helping small and medium-sized businesses. The DREAM is scaling up using the co-operative model, which will allow member-based organizations to collaborate democratically and achieve purchasing efficiencies for their members that match big box and big platform competitors. The Direct Co-operative initiative leverages the Direct Global platform to network and unite the buying power of the members of member-based associations and co-operatives who share common interests and believe in principles of fairness. Direct Co-op aggregates the demand of its members (most of whom are group purchasers or participate in group purchasing themselves) in a way that brings purchasing power and efficient shipping to participants of all sizes and from all sectors. Direct Global is the Canadian strategic partner to the Commonwealth Enterprise and Investment Council and an ecommerce partner to NCBA-CLUSA (currently launching a pilot with the co-ops of Peru), America's oldest co-operative association representing 1 in 3 Americans, as well as the exclusive ecommerce platform to the US Pacific Rim Chamber of Commerce. It has been featured on Bloomberg-BNN, Yahoo! Finance, Business Insider and received mention in “Everything for Everyone”, Nathan Schneider’s seminal text on the modern business co-operative movement.

Join Fare Co-op - a driver-owned rideshare!
https://youtube.com/shorts/QGD4wyO-9Og

Automation is transforming our world from retail to transportation.
But who should own this change?
Drivers and passengers deserve the future.
That's why our cooperative model ensures drivers keep up to 90% of every fare,
while passengers save an average of 20% on every ride.
Through our model, drivers will own the driverless vehicles that will replace them in the future.
Plus, with our unique referral system,
you can now earn money on every ride,
whether you're a passenger or a driver.
Together, we're shaping a fair future for transportation.
Unlike Uber and Waymo, where drivers face low earnings and wrongful deactivations,
fare co-op puts power and profits back into the hands of the community.
Join the revolution, fair for everyone.

To sign up, download the app at www.fare.coop/ and use referral code ZDK7AT4L
