Designing a marketplace for shared asset ownership and business formation.

Journeyhorizon designed, built and maintained Cohown to help people find partners, share ownership costs and coordinate the formation and governance of jointly owned assets or businesses.

Platform and marketplace model

Cohown, or Cohort Owned, is a growing network of people looking to share the cost and effort of owning an asset or starting a business. Whether you have property or a vehicle you'd like to share, a business you'd like to start, or you have labor, talent, and funding to offer, Cohown helps you find partners and helps you securely form legal entities.

We worked with the team at Cohown to design, build and maintain their marketplace for shared asset ownership and governance. A really interesting project that we hope will continue to grow.

Journeyhorizon’s engagement

Marketplace design, development, shared-ownership workflows and ongoing maintenance. The delivery used Marketplace platform with custom ownership workflows.

Client perspective

When looking for a solution and assistance with our marketplace, it became clear we didn’t have the expertise or time to do what we wanted as well as we wanted. We looked everywhere for independent contractors and consultants and found few people with the required skills that were willing to work within a limited budget. It started seeming impossible to make Cohown a reality until we were introduced to the team at Journeyhorizon, but once we touched base, everything began taking shape. More than just being connected to a group of talented people with all the skills we needed and then some, we were also educated on the technical aspects of our business we were unfamiliar with. Not only has Journeyhorizon helped us make our dream a reality, they’ve helped us save money at nearly every turn by offering advice on more efficient and cost effective ways of building the platform. I can’t thank the team enough or recommend a better place to begin building whatever you have in mind.
