What makes us different?
Socially-Conscious
ProductShare is a socially conscious organization inspired by the principles of Conscious Capitalism. At its core, a conscious business is one that intends to have a positive impact on the world for both people and the planet. Our marketplace is socially conscious in 3 core aspects:
1. We focus on a higher purpose beyond simply making profits. Our mission is: To bring about a more just global society in which all people have full access to the needed resources for their physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual growth.
2. We view our customers and the environment in which we operate as the integral stakeholders in our ecosystem and share our profits evenly with our customers and democratically selected social impact initiatives that represent the environment as a stakeholder
3. We harness the power of our community to curate only the best-rated ethical and sustainable products made by brands that align with our mission to do good for people and our planet
Customer-Curated
The Products offered on ProductShare will be curated by our community through a collaborative, decentralized and democratic voting process that ensures that the selected products conform to the following 3 acceptance criteria:
1. Made with ❤ in democratic countries by highly responsible companies that strive to make a social impact, pay fair wages and empower their workers
2. Created via sustainable and environmentally friendly manufacturing process or handmade using ethically sourced, recycled or organic materials
3. Confirmed to be of highest possible quality by verified reviews from existing customers with a minimum rating of 9 out of 10.
Community-Governed
ProductShare was created with the intention to decentralize its ownership and governance by placing it in the hands of the community it serves. This is made possible using blockchain technology in the form of a cryptographic governance token called StakeShare that enables community members to assume ownership of the ProductShare Ecosystem and to participate in marketplace governance functions such as product curation while automatically receiving a share of profits proportional to their ownership stake. StakeShare has a fixed constant supply will be distributed evenly among 3 core stakeholder groups that make up the overall ProductShare community:

ProductShare is building a decentralized marketplace platform that:
- Enables brands, vendors and customers to seamlessly and democratically collaborate on curating a continually expanding digital assortment of best rated ethically manufactured and sustainable consumer products.
- Shares the generated sales profits equally and autonomously among the full spectrum of stakeholders that make up our community and community elected social impact initiatives.
- Operates as a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) that is owned and governed on the blockchain by our community
