An online music store. Owned by us(jam.coop)

We're a co-operatively owned music store, 100% run by and for the benefit of musicians, fans and the people who work here. jam.coop is a new online service that allows musicians to connect with and sell music directly to their fans.

We plan to have features similar to other services, such as Bandcamp, but with a crucial difference: jam.coop is a co-operative run by and for the benefit of musicians and the people who build the platform. We're not for sale and never will be.

jam.coop is built by a small software development company called Go Free Range. We're a company owned and run by our workers - a worker co-operative.

We have experience of building this kind of thing. We helped build FutureLearn, an online marketplace for mass-participation university courses and BBC Introducing a service for musicians to upload their music to the BBC and get it played on the radio.
