- Description
-
WeCommune (as in "we are communing...") is a technology platform, now in early beta testing, that provides aggregated micro-communities the tools they need to share resources and build deeper, smarter forms of community. WeCommune gives users a fast, flexible and fun way to come together with people they're close to, share resources, and build the kind of tight-knit community that can not just survive, but thrive.
The company was founded by entrepreneur/architect Stephanie Smith on the principles E.F. Schumacher laid out in his seminal book ‘Small is Beautiful: Economics as if People Mattered‘ (1973). WeCommune began as an Ecoshack social design project called Wanna Start a Commune? and was featured on All Things Considered (NPR) in early 2009. Listen to the podcast.
