What makes Amerge different?

ADVANTAGE 01

More Transparency

With our emergent payment technology every dollar coming in and every dollar going out of the co-op is visible to all co-op members.

ADVANTAGE 02

More Opportunity

Our community-based structure allows for a wider network of makers, placers, and operators all aligned around long-term catalog value, not just one-off extraction.

ADVANTAGE 03

More Equity

Amerge is owned and led by the artists and workers who provide their talents and labor. We remove the intermediaries and distribute the value created by all of us.
