Robin Hood Project aims to provide economic power and options to those without them by creating alternative financial services that correspond to people's needs. It does this through the Robin Hood Cooperative, a "twisted hedge fund" that takes money from members and invests it in Wall Street through an algorithm, donating part of the profits to projects building the commons. The cooperative is updating its model by moving its system onto the Ethereum blockchain to be more accessible and participatory.

1. Robin Hood Project
First Step:
The Cooperative of the Precariat
Changing the affective and
emotional relationship people
have with Finance

2. Robin Hood is a process, an ongoing agenda
It takes different shapes and uses different tools at different times.
As an idea it is free, and as a process it is open source.
In its heart, it is all of us. It lives!

3. What Robin Hood wants is simple
To provide means of economic power and options to those without them.
To create alternative financial services.
Services that correspond to the needs, dreams and desires of the new
type of economic agents we are becoming.

4. Hacking Finance
Finance is technology to open new opportunities
We just don’t have access to its operating system
So we have decided to hack it!
We are Finance Hackers.

5. Robin Hood Coopertative is a twisted hedge fund
First, it is a cooperative. Individuals who buy shares of the cooperative decide how
it is run. One member, one vote.
Second, the money put into the fund is placed in the Wall Street stock exchange
by an algorithm called “The Parasite”.
Third, per the Robin Hood principle, part of the profit generated by the fund is
invested into projects building the commons.

Ethereum Blockchain.
