🌏 ❤️ We talk A LOT about the importance of storytelling at ReGen Ventures - what stories to tell, how to tell them, who to share them with, and how they may lead to reimagining a better planet. Today, I am over the moon to unveil a project that has been incredibly fun to work on this past year, authored by the exceptional Elena Klonsky - "Building a Regenerative Future," ReGen Ventures' first Regeneration Manifesto. This Manifesto presents a glimpse into the future of regeneration - unveiling the potential of early-stage companies to reframe climate change as an opportunity to rethink who we are and what we desire. Head to section three to hear directly from some of our founders. A huge thank you to Kenny Lee, Shannon Nangle, Yudí Ding, Alexander Gagnon, Anukool Lakhina and Sacha Schmitz for sharing your stories with us and for daring to build companies that are reimagining the world from the atom up! Also a huge thank you to Lila Theodoros at Muse Muse for turning our creative ideas into a reality. P.S. If you're not investing in REGENERATIVE technology you are, by definition, investing in DEGENERATIVE technology! - For a better planet. 🌏 ❤️ https://lnkd.in/g4aBRjEM #regenerative #climatetech #venturecapital

I often ask people two questions: What is your gift, and what is your challenge? I believe that with dedication and consistency, we can unlock many gifts and solve numerous challenges. 🌱 Here's what my gift is: It's about bringing people together and unlocking potential. 🌟 Four years ago, I got involved in the co-creation of the Patio Network. It has become my favorite case study in the power of unity. With over 1500 representatives from 25 countries, all of us co-owners of our businesses, we are bringing something truly remarkable - catalysts for change together. All the effort is worth it when we see the results of our collaborative projects. Whether it's creating portals for hospitals, digitalizing university methodologies, implementing AI for efficiency, or partnering with startups to bring their ideas to life, the impact is truly rewarding. We offer technical expertise for sustainable businesses, drive the digitalization of social projects, and, most importantly, solve complex challenges. I would love to know, what is your challenge. Let's find common ground and start a collaboration. --- A big thank you to CECOP and CICOPA for organizing our first gathering last year. I am looking forward to many more inspiring events to come. A big thank you to Camplight | Your Digital Venture Builder for being a role model on this journey. #CommunityBuilding #Collaboration #Transparency #Camplight #PatioNetwork #SustainableBusiness #DigitalTransformation #Innovation
