What does a Stocksy United Co-op membership offer?

Get fair pay as part of the creative community changing the face of visual media.

Fair Compensation

Stocksy licenses to some of the biggest brands in the world. Our prices are higher, and so are our royalties.

We believe artists should be paid fairly for their work, so we put 50% from regular purchases and 75% from extended licenses directly into their pockets. 

We support a fully remote and global team that believes people do their best work when they’re comfortable, supported, and trusted to balance life and work in a way that suits them. We invest in our people with generous vacation time, flexible sick leave, strong health and wellness benefits, and ongoing opportunities to learn, grow, and explore new skills.

In the event of a year-end surplus, Stocksy United's Board of Directors may determine to distribute patronage dividends — this means Co-op profits are shared directly with the membership and not pocketed by a few shareholders.

Co-ownership

As a Stocksy member, you have the opportunity to drive business decisions through board director elections, resolutions, voting, and annual general meetings. All our members are co-owners and have agency and a voice within the business. 

Community & Dedicated Support

In addition to co-ownership, you also have access to a global community of like-minded creatives for collaboration, feedback, inspiration, and support.

We have a team dedicated to each member’s success. Get personalized mentorship with expert feedback, portfolio reviews, and a members eager to support you in your creative development at Stocksy.
