April 2025 — In an age of growing uncertainty and social fragmentation, ROST Coop (Return On Sustainable Trust) offers a bold alternative: a new economic model rooted in regenerative ownership and social transformation.
The ROST Model moves beyond short-term shareholder value, focusing instead on long-term trust-building and community-rooted ownership. It invites members — entrepreneurs, scientists, community leaders, and cooperatives — to co-create ecosystems where ownership is not only financial, but also cultural and relational.
As a democratic economic association, ROST Coop fosters inclusive governance and collaboration across other ownership forms — from foundations to member-based entities. Every initiative is guided by our core principle: return on trust and mission-aligned profitability.
We welcome new members who share our commitment to regenerative ownership and shared value.

Many grassroots entrepreneurs and innovators — from community farmers to wellness founders to local educators — start their projects with passion, grit, and deep values. But when it comes time to grow, they face a difficult choice: Take on outside capital and risk losing control, or stay small and under-resourced. Too often, good ideas die in that gap.
At ROST Coop, we believe there’s a third path — one where you don’t have to give up control to grow, but where you do take responsibility to grow your idea into profitability with integrity.
ROST is not a fund or a venture group. It is an economic association that serves as shared infrastructure and a collective voice.
Built on a democratic governance model, ROST allows members to co-own the platform, shape its direction, and access aligned tools for growth — without diluting their identity or handing over power to financial capital.
You keep your vision of regenerative ownership and social transformation.
You align with our mission: Return on Sustainable Trust.
Together, we build the ROST model of economic resilience — rooted in cooperation, not control.
If you’re tired of being offered 100% of nothing, maybe it’s time to co-own something real.
