Weaving a Portfolio for Planetary Regeneration: Catalyzing Radical Systemic Change

Introduction

In the quest for a regenerative future, the challenges we face are multifaceted and complex. Addressing them demands a holistic approach that spans across various domains and geographies. I find myself at the intersection of this global transformation, curating a portfolio of organizations that together, catalyze radical systemic change. Each component of this portfolio plays a unique role in forging the path towards a regenerative economy and a more sustainable, interconnected world. In this contribution, I will introduce you to the key entities within my portfolio: Dark Matter Labs, Cohere, Holochain, and ProSocial. Through these initiatives, I am actively participating in the co-creation of a regenerative future and hope to inspire others to embark on similar journeys.

Dark Matter Labs - Redesigning Capital Markets

Dark Matter Labs is where the journey begins. In the Capital Markets team, we are focused on reimagining the financial structures that underpin our global economy. Our mission is to structure new asset classes that have the potential to unlock the massive capital required for regenerative infrastructure investments. We recognize that the current financial system is a significant obstacle to systemic change, as it often prioritizes short-term gains over long-term sustainability. By creating innovative financial instruments and models, we aim to redirect capital flows towards regenerative projects that have a positive impact on the planet and society.

Cohere - Building Global Coliving Communities

Cohere represents a unique approach to addressing the housing crisis and fostering community in a regenerative way. This organization is in the process of establishing member-owned coliving communities across diverse geographies, including Guatemala, Ecuador, Peru, Zanzibar, and Germany. By combining the benefits of homeownership with the flexibility of renting, Cohere empowers individuals to live sustainably while actively participating in the regeneration of their local ecosystems. This initiative recognizes the vital role of community in building a regenerative future, emphasizing the importance of human connection and collaboration in our collective journey.

Holochain - Enabling P2P Innovation

Holochain stands at the forefront of technology innovation in the pursuit of regenerative solutions. It provides an open-source, peer-to-peer app framework that enables the creation of real asset-backed currencies. This innovation has the potential to trigger a Cambrian explosion of new financial tools, facilitating mutual credit for a multitude of regenerative projects. By decentralizing and democratizing the financial ecosystem, Holochain empowers individuals and communities to take control of their financial destiny, fostering a regenerative economy from the ground up.

ProSocial - Facilitating Cultural Change 

Cultural change is fundamental to the success of any systemic transformation. ProSocial offers a powerful framework and tools for facilitating collaboration and alignment among diverse groups. This approach is particularly crucial as we weave together networks and networks of networks to collectively pursue a regenerative future. ProSocial enables groups to identify a common North Star and navigate the complexities of multi-level selection processes, ultimately arriving at coordinated actions at scale. This cultural change technique is the glue that binds the components of this portfolio together, facilitating the synergy needed for a planetary civilization ahead.

Conclusion

As I reflect on my journey of weaving together these diverse organizations and initiatives, I am reminded of the immense potential that lies within collective action. The portfolio I have curated represents a blueprint for those who aspire to contribute to the creation of a regenerative future. It demonstrates that by strategically aligning diverse entities with complementary missions and capabilities, we can accelerate the pace of systemic change. Whether you are passionate about finance, community, technology, or cultural transformation, there is a role for you to play in this grand endeavor.

In conclusion, I invite you to explore these organizations and the principles they embody. Let them serve as an inspiration for your own journey towards catalyzing systemic change. Together, we can weave a brighter future for our planet, one that is regenerative, interconnected, and sustainable, and ultimately pave the way for a planetary civilization ahead.
