A venture studio & strategic consulting agency.
We solve problems, build teams, and create new things.
Our shared challenge
We are confronting the limits of our planet’s life support systems. We witness accelerating extinctions, climate change, extreme economic inequality, and more.
These challenges emerge from an outdated view of how human systems — like the industrial infrastructure of food or housing — function and interact with natural systems.
Brittle and sclerotic systems are failing all of us.
A unique opportunity
We have tremendous tools: AI, automation, digital manufacturing, distributed ledgers, satellites, renewable energy, electric vehicles.
If we can use these tools, informed by complex adaptive systems, regenerative design, Indigenous wisdom, ecology, and permaculture — radically holistic wisdom — we can create the required systemic solutions to the problems we face.
We believe it is possible to live in radically new ways, in harmony with all of life.
A team of alchemists
Creating new things requires a wide breadth of skills: product, strategy, design, team building, systems integration, leadership, networks, marketing, software, hardware, manufacturing.
We represent a group that has both deep generalists and specialists who have worked together solving real problems and creating real solutions.
We operate trans-organizationally and ecosystemically — convening stakeholders, forging alliances, building networks, and seeding movements.
And we don’t shy away from developing products, tools, and infrastructure.
We work with foundations, family offices, and funds to imagine, prototype, build, and scale the systemic solutions required to create real change.
We also work with individuals, communities, and companies who are holding the key to important innovations and practices that need to exist, scale, and replicate.
You’re working on something important.
Let’s talk.
