Dear courageous commoners 🌱

As we approach our one-year anniversary (already 😱🥳🎉!), we’re reflecting on how far we’ve come—and where we’re heading next.

The Commons Hub has blossomed into a vibrant, community-led space where events connect people, where ideas spark, and citizens come together to co-create a better Brussels. 🧡

⁉️ But as we grow, one big question remains: how do we fund the commons in a way that reflects our values and builds long-term resilience?

This month’s newsletter dives into just that. From steward-owned business models, Fair Shares Commons and the concept of ergodicity (of what? no worries, we will explain), to creative solutions like Airbnb experiences, book distribution, and setting up a crowdfunding Season 2 — we’re sharing our current thinking and we are inviting yours.

If you’re curious, inspired, or just love a good systems rethink as much as we do, we’d love you to dive into our latest newsletter, share your thoughts, or join our Friday growth meetings. Let’s build what’s next, together 💡👇

A common is not a startup. It’s a different animal. It’s not about optimizing for performance. It’s about resilience. It’s about creating a regenerative resource that can be used by many different people in the community for different purposes for generations to come.

How does one develop a resilient business model for that?

That’s what we are exploring in this newsletter beautifully written by nostr:nprofile1qqsg6dffqg0268pjhnz7udn426qdkxaq52wcxkqja2450yf8pwun8gcpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejq3qylaq.

Plus our upcoming events and an invitation to celebrate with us our 1 year anniversary on Sunday June 1st. Save the date! 🎂 🍰
