Client Success Story of the Month

Stay and Play Doggie Daycare

Terry Powers lives with her best friend - a Golden Chow mix named Shadow - that she rescued from the shelter. Dogs have always been an important part of her family. That is why she decided to open 'Stay and Play Doggie Daycare' in 2014.
​
Terry opened her business not only to help pet owners while they were away from their dogs during the day, but also because she wanted to surround herself with these loving animals.

Terry has an Associate Degree in Human Services from Onondaga Community College, but she recieved her business experience while working at one of the largest Chevrolet dealerships in CNY for 18 years. Terry is also certified in Pet First Aid and CPR. These experiences enabled her to start and manage a successful business while giving great customer service.

Platform Cooperatives:
Flowing with the Shift in the Market

Combining “the rich heritage of cooperatives with the promise of 21st century technologies, free from monopoly, exploitation, and surveillance,” is the definition of platform cooperatives as presented in the 2017 edited compilation, “Ours to Hack and to Own: The Rise of Platform Cooperativism, A New Vision for the Future of Work and a Fairer Internet.”

You may not be readily clear on what a platform-technology business is, but you have almost certainly been a consumer of one or more of these businesses, and maybe even a provider.
