Resonate
Industry Entertainment
A platform cooperative music-streaming service structured around listener, artist, and worker ownership rather than investor-owned streaming economics. Resonate scores well because ownership is comparatively aligned and governance has stronger accountability than peers, and no current penalty outweighs that structure.
Why this matters: Platform cooperatives test whether digital markets can distribute control and surplus away from investor-owned intermediaries.
