Regenerative Capital Room

A room to explore, learn and apply innovative models to fund, govern and own businesses for positive growth.

An initiative in collaboration between Capital House and WorldStartup.

Addressing the need for change in our capital system

In a world where traditional investments often prioritise financial gain over social and environmental well-being, there is a need for regenerative capital initiatives. With a mission to create a space for community, learning and collaboration of progressive and impactful investment and ownership models, the Regenerative Capital Room serves as a space for forward-thinking discussions. It invites anyone committed to transforming how we fund, own, and govern impactful innovations - from startups and investors to city representatives and experts.
