Carbon is up, forests are coming down.
You keep your head down. You need this job.
Get rich, then give back. That was the playbook.
The nest egg, the comfy retirement;
Deep down you know: it's no longer the dream.
The dream is humanity. You know what's at risk and you don't know how to stop it.
It's up to you. Save the world or die trying.
In between taking and giving is something that’s neither yours nor theirs, but ours: there’s common ground.
In the middle between making money and giving back, the nest egg is collective.
Imagine a world where the money is yours alone, but the profits are yours in community. As long as your investment succeeds, you and dozens like you get your money back, while the profits collect in a pool that stays where it is. Like a home for a family, or a potluck for a team, value is coordinated in a commons to be used, and re-used, by the beneficiaries of that commons, for as long as they can sustain it.
When we build in common, former competitors become allies. Society becomes an ally. Nature becomes an ally. We don’t exploit them and they don’t exploit us. Our work is protected and we protect theirs.
We co-invest, and we’re co-involved in common outcomes,
and when everyone is involved, there’s nobody left to exploit.
We fund and incubate collectives of founders that pool regenerative assets; assets that connect, thrive, and provide. This is our mission. We invest time and money in collectives because the assets we value most are the assets we have in common.
We operate in the new middle, between doing well and doing good:
So where should you put your money? It’s not a charity if you recover it. It’s not an investment if you get no returns. Somewhere between charity and investment is common ground, and the commons is calling for capital. To allocate in the middle is a delicate business.
