The Build-Along

Care Built to Last, Funded by Community

Real Cooperatives, Real Capital, Real Time

No script. No editing. Just the raw process of a cooperative getting built, broadcast live on Stream.place.

Each cohort's story is broadcast live as it unfolds, with a local media team capturing real students doing real work. You see every step, unscripted and unstaged, so you know what building a cooperative actually looks like.

When a cohort builds a cooperative, they do more than meet their own land and care needs. They create new options for their entire community. In places where land is concentrated and funding for care is unreliable, students use Altera Studio's curriculum to build a structure they can own and sustain with their neighbors.

Instead of a single show, you get a growing library. Each cohort is filmed from its first organizing meeting through the day it leases land or equipment to local farms. As soon as their co-op opens, you see the impact begin.

You can follow a single cohort's journey from start to finish, or compare how different groups solve the same challenge. Altera Studio is not a fixed template. It is a record of many communities building their own solutions, on camera, in real time.

For Members: Your Story, and the Ones Before You

You are the first cohort. There is no path already cut, so the first season of Stream.place's library is yours to create. Every organizing meeting, every decision, every milestone airs as it happens. Nothing is reenacted or summarized later. Your work becomes the record that future cohorts will study before they begin. The stakes are clear: land your community needs, equipment that is out of reach for one person, care that has been missing. Someone has to go first. You can be the example others learn from.

For Credit Unions: Proof You Can Watch Before You Commit

Most lenders wait until a model is proven. Here, you have the opportunity to serve as the financing partner and instructional advisor for the very first cooperative Stream.place documents. You are present from day one, involved in every phase and every decision, all on record. This is the example other credit unions will reference later. You can set the standard.

Just some placeholder content. Edit the module to change it.
