While I'm living in HamilTron, city of the future, I want to help create a cooperatively-run cafe and arts venue. I reckon we could crowdfund the costs of setting it up, by promising $23 worth of coffee and food for each $20 contributed.

I need to figure out how to get it off the ground, and whether to make it a worker-owned co-op or a customer-owned one. If we go worker-owned, we could start with a coffee cart as a test flight.
But I'm leaning towards skipping that step and going straight into a building. There are so many empty around the city right now, and there is a real need for more convivial spaces. In which case customer-owned might be the way to go. In a cafe that includes workers anyway (everyone eats, right?)
