About Obran Cooperative
We believe that everyone should own their most precious asset: their time. Obran is the first worker-owned cooperative conglomerate. Leveraging its portfolio of small businesses, the cooperative empowers its workers through ownership and education. Obran’s unique holding cooperative structure allows it to find, acquire, and hold profitable small- to medium-size businesses and real estate on behalf of its worker-owners. Founded in 2019 by a group of returning citizens in Baltimore City, Obran’s work is built to serve those closest to the problem of economic and social oppression.
