Help Build the World We Want
For over 40 years, I’ve held a singular vision, merging ecology & economy.
During this time, I have assembled the experience and toolset that can make this vision possible so that people like you can help build what I call the Ecosystem Sector.
Even today, people who are working hard to promote ecology typically end up siloed in a few categories:
- Top down regulations which are resisted by the general public
- NGO and charity efforts that alone can never address the issues at scale
To me, the missing element has always been the traditional business platform. Used skillfully, this is the only platform that can address ecology at scale and in a way that also provides economic benefits for everyone.
A $40 Trillion Opportunity — Hidden in Plain Sight
I see the challenges to our ecosystems as huge and inclusive economic opportunities. Seeing the issues this way opens the door for progress at scale that can bring together people from all walks of life.
There are virtually endless opportunities to build successful businesses of every size and shape that can help expand:
- Clean water and thriving ecosystems
- Local and organic agriculture
- Walkable cities
- Human health and well-being
- And more…
These fields represent a wide open economic frontier of revenue and investment opportunities as well. Yet, traditional entrepreneurship and investment strategies are not well-suited for making the most of these opportunities.
I have spent most of my life acquiring the business, leadership, political, and financial skills needed to help people turn these opportunities into thriving enterprises. Sadly, I have seen far more failures than successes due to antiquated notions about project development, politics, and finance.
To overcome these limits, I have created new approaches and financial technologies that minimize risks and maximize potential success for project leaders and investors alike.
How You Can Participate
I have a knack for designing scalable business projects inside the Ecosystem Sector. You can see some examples on the Projects page.
Bringing these types of visionary projects to reality requires two things:
- People who are already working on a visionary project, or are ready to step into a leadership role in a project we design together. If that’s you, let’s talk about working together.
- People who wish to allocate capital from in any amount, from a few thousand to a few $1 billion or more to the Ecosystem Sector. If that’s you, please book a free meeting to discuss your investment goals.
My Role
Traditional entrepreneurship and finance typically reject opportunities in the Ecosystem Sector out of hand. Even though they remain little understood by most people, the world has never been in a better place for success.
In my life, I have seen far more great projects collapse instead of flourish due to antiquated notions about project development. To overcome these limits, I have created new approaches and financial tools that minimize risks for leaders and their supporters.
Emboldened by my own successes, and schooled by plenty of failures, I have acquired the business, leadership, and financial skills needed to help a new generation build thriving enterprises at scale in the Ecosystem Sector.
Today, I am focused on project design, capital formation, and leader development. If you wish to be involved as a project leader or investor, let’s get on a call to see how we can work together.
