We’re cooperating for the commons. 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 middle, between doing well and doing good. Because somewhere between charity and investment is common ground, and the commons is calling for capital.
Our Toolkit
It’s not a charity if you recover it. It’s not an investment if you get no returns. To allocate in the middle is a delicate business.
- Our Program Related Investments (PRI) are impact loans, restricted to furthering social, natural, and financial returns for a collectively controlled commons.
- Revenue Based Income (RBI) allows the commons to return capital in proportion to its own economic sustainability. Successful collectives cover the losses of the unsuccessful.
- Surplus returns are paid forward to new founder pools, and capped to keep capital (and agency) within the collective.
- Collectives are mission-locked, bound by their governance to recycle their accumulated economic wealth into initiatives that build environmentally and socially regenerative capabilities for the collective. Our role in the commons is to keep our collectives on the middle path; to keep money, nature, and people at the service of regenerating each other before any gains are extracted.
