Saying you can acquire wealth in a democratic way is like saying you can buy elections in a democratic way. Which is to say, no you loving can't, the democratic acquisition of wealth precludes one person having more of it than other people... Democracy is not you with your big rich person brain dictating how to spend the money you got by dictating to your employees how much of their surplus production they should give to you because you own the company.

Within the scale of the democracy, if a cooperative exists within a wider capitalist system, then the wider system is not democratic, even if the internal democracy of the cooperative were to be. If it were to get successful on the scale of a modern megacorp then you'd be reasonable to argue it's doing an imperialism if it doesn't devote a sizeable part of its resources to creating more cooperatives or expanding itself to knock out parts of the capitalist system it exists in.

Either you're the smartest person in the world who has figured out the one weird trick to guaranteed wealth, or there actually are more things standing between people and being rich than you believe. Which of these two possibilities do you think is more probable.

OP have you tried inventing a perpetual motion machine? It can't be that hard right, all the physicists are just scamming people.
