Coop Exchange operates a fintech platform that aims to enable investment in tradable co‑op shares and other co‑operative financial instruments, positioning itself as a marketplace for co‑operatives and mutuals. The company says its mission is to combat wealth inequality by growing the co‑operative economy and providing co‑ops with access to new sources of capital. It plans to become a regulated stock exchange allowing co‑operatives to list bonds and equity with restricted voting rights in line with co‑operative principles. Coop Exchange is targeting impact investors and sustainable fund managers as early customers, arguing the model aligns financial returns with social impact. The venture is headquartered in London with an EU office in Malta and has assembled a board including Ben Reid, Pauline Green, Shaun Tarbuck, and Barry O’Dwyer. Financially, the company completed a pre‑seed round that set a £10m valuation after the investment led by the Co‑operators.
