In September 2021, the NetGain Partnership initiated a research process designed to explore finance-focused strategies that would hold leading internet platforms accountable and create a healthier digital public sphere. NetGain commissioned Open MIC and Whistle Stop Capital to produce a series of reports that addressed those issues. Since then, the research teams have conducted interviews with more than 40 practitioners, analysts, and observers of shareholder engagement and finance-focused strategies in the global technology sector.
The research teams have also explored current tactics and strategies employed in the finance-sector globally to check the power and harmful behaviors of Big Tech companies.
The resulting reports summarize key learnings from the research, and provided recommendations for philanthropy’s role in advancing finance-focused strategies.
