Partner with Zebras Unite
Zebras Unite (ZU) Co-op is a founder-led, cooperatively owned global movement creating the culture, capital & community for the next economy whose audience seeks educational opportunities like the one offered by organizations like yours.
We invite aligned organizations and individuals to join Zebras Unite as partners. A partnership signals that you are a trusted service provider, supporter, or collaborator of the Zebras Unite community. Our hope is for a partnership to be a first step, and plant the seeds of future, mutually beneficial partnerships and collaborations.
If you're interested in working with Zebras Unite, please let us know what you have in mind and we'll be in touch. Please note, due to a high volume of enquiries, we onboard new partners at the start of each quarter.

FAQ
Can I use Zebras in my branding?
We’re incredibly flattered that the Zebras Unite message has resonated with thousands of people around the world. While we’re grateful for the many spin-off brands that have taken off, Zebras Unite is copyrighted and we’d be more than happy to extend a license to partners which grants you rights to reference Zebras in your marketing materials. Please contact us at [email protected] if you’d like to design a co-branded offering or purchase a license to use the Zebras Unite brand.
Can we partner around content?
Education partners are organisations that are developing free or paid educational offerings that serve the gaps and needs of the Zebra Unite community. Depending on what you’d like to bring to our audience, we advertise these offerings across our marketing channels, through member discounts, subsidized seats and/or for a referral fee. We also enjoy co-designing events and workshop with our Education Partners on our Crowdcast page.
We are interested in partnering with education partners rather than creating our own content from whole cloth so we strongly encourage you to reach out if you are creating any kind of educational content that might serve the values that we advocate in our manifestos.
Can we partner around capital?
Yes! We have a number of capital partners onboard and these could entail extending discounted and/or subsidized capital products to ZU Co-op members. Most of these partnerships come attached with a scout arrangement or referral fee.
What do we seek in a partner?
We’re seeking partners that are creating capital or content offerings that align with the needs of our audience. The Zebras Unite community are broadly interested in topics that cover cooperative economics, alternative capital structures, new economies, conscious leadership, social impact, building ethical, humane, responsible, regulated and beneficial products, technology and enterprises. We’re open to various types of partnerships, whether you would like to deliver a workshop, organise a course, create a content piece or something else. Please let us know what you have in mind and let’s work together to collaborate in mutually agreeable ways!

Do I need to join the Co-Op?
While you’re not expected to join the Co-Op, we’d love for you to own and benefit from the success of this partnership and one way this can happen is by joining as a General Member. Each General Member owns a share of the Co-Op, and each share has a vote. This is different from a “subscription” or a “club” membership in that members and shareholders in the Co-Op also participate in the governance and decision-making for the Co-Op by voting according to their share class. Rather than merely being customers or consumers who pay for products and services, Zebras Unite Co-Op members are thus empowered as owners, participants, and creators who receive an annual dividend in proportion to the Co-Op’s growth and in proportion to their patronage. Rather than the benefits going only to those “at the top” or outside investors, the cooperative structure ensures that all members can participate and benefit from the good that we create together. You have the chance to vote on the co-op's directors, policies, etc.
