FAQ - Governance Transition Calculators

+
+
+

What is this tool?

+

Exit to Community requires fully transitioning ownership and governance rights of a company to the + community of people who most rely on the products, services and technologies produced by the + organization. Like any business exit, this is not an easy transition and often requires some + resources to be invested to for example: negotiate terms of the exit with founders and investors, + restructure the operations of the organization to allow for community ownership and governance, hire + lawyers to draw up new contracts and bylaws, etc. The E2C Calculator is a tool to help you assess + your E2C readiness and decide whether your organization and community are in a good position to make + the additional investment required to execute an E2C in future.

+
+
+

Who this tool is for?

+

This tool is for organizations who are either exploring the option of E2C and want to find out if it + would be suitable for them, as well as for communities who are already fully committed to this path + forward and curious to assess if they’re ready to take the next big step. Ideally, after using this + tool you will have a clearer understanding of how ready your organization is for community ownership + and which areas you should be working on more.

+
+
+

How to use this tool?

+

After answering a set of questions relating to the current state and operations of your business and + community, the tool will indicate a readiness score for you. The score helps you anchor yourself on + the path to E2C. You will also receive dedicated scores for each section in which you answered + questions, helping you to assess which areas to potentially improve on in order to feel confident + about your E2C.

+

In principle, any member of such an organization or community can fill out the assessment from their + perspective. The tool is most effective when stakeholders who are crucial throughout the E2C process + (current business owners, community leaders) align in their assessment of the organization and + community in question. Having a common understanding of how things are and where they should go is + an important first step on the path to E2C.

+

We envision the tool to be used both by individuals, curious to explore the opportunities and risks + of E2C in their given context, as well as for stakeholder groups coming together to make a decision. + Here, the calculator should be used as a tool that helps to anchor the group’s conversation, focus + attention where it matters and ultimately help all stakeholders come to a collective decision that + everyone feels comfortable with.

+
+
+

Why we built this tool?

+

Because user/ community ownership needs to be more of a thing! Yet, it’s a really difficult path for + organizations to go. All business exits are difficult and require significant negotiation, time and + resources. Especially, venturing down a lesser known exit strategy, such as E2C, can bring a lot of + risk and uncertainty. Consequently, feeling confident in being ready to seriously explore and + implement this type of exit is an important first step in the transition process itself. The E2C + Calculators helps communities build an understanding and thus confidence in their own readiness and + potential areas to address in order to become even more ready.
