1. the "Purpose" block - or at least engages most of it its bricks, especially the why/who (the essential purpose of a coop is to benefit its members, potentially in multiple ways). Cooperatives seem particularly aligned to the "build with" approach.
2. the "Well-Resourced" block - as the co-op path influences entity choice (including but not limited to cooperative corporations or limited cooperative associations), business model, and funding options
3. the "Capable" block - as it relates to choices around control, decisionmaking, and governance that are essential parts of execution. I don't see these terms in the framework, although I do see some related terms under the "Active and Connected" brick: "rules and norms", "roles and contributions"
Great to see the accelerator taking off!
One brick that I would add to the framework -- although it sort of fits under multiple blocks: cooperative associations. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooperative
I think it fits under:

Yes! Co-ops are very interesting model for communities. Great point on governance - added that to capable bucket.
