nRhythm is a diverse team of entrepreneurs, lawyers, activists, artists, farmers, coaches, writers, and designers combining their collective talents, experiences, and lived experiences to address the world's most pressing social and environmental issues. They came together through the recognition of the crippling impediments they observed consistently in organizations, governments, and communities around the world.
nRhythm designs, operates and resources organizations, networks, and communities using the nRhythm Regenerative Framework, which takes a holistic, living systems-based approach to improving organizational outcomes while increasing the efficiency, effectiveness, and well-being of employees.
The Capital Institute has pioneered a new space for holistic economic thought that draws on the latest science of living systems, global wisdom traditions, and 20 years of real world experience at the pillar of global finance on Wall Street.
The Capital Institute encourages a transformation of our economic system to achieve social and ecological regeneration. We believe our finance-driven economic system is in urgent need of a regenerative model that must be aligned with the laws — not theories — of natural systems and our current scientific understanding of how the world works, which is remarkably aligned with the compassion embodied in all global wisdom traditions.
We redefine wealth and reimagine finance in service to the emergence of an ecologically and socially regenerative economy. By addressing the root causes of climate change, economic injustice, and even pandemics, we promote the emergence of thriving communities and a flourishing planet.
The Regenerative Economy we foresee is a powerful one, unleashing presently unseen potential, which is the source of Regenerative Age prosperity, and replacing no longer feasible extractive growth. This potential derives from the essence of our individual genius, the deep purpose of regenerative enterprise large and small, and must extend to the macro socio-economic system as a whole.
Community capital is a set of strategies that allows people of any economic status to invest in their community.
We envision a sustainable and democratic economy that works for everyone and intentionally includes individuals and communities historically excluded due to class, race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, etc.
We value inclusivity, equity, local empowerment, and collective prosperity.
We are a multidisciplinary team of legal experts, educators, lenders, entrepreneurs, and community advocates.
Community capital poses an alternative to traditional investment models that have contributed to increased wealth inequality, a concentration of power, and large-scale social and environmental disaster. Historically, Americans have understood investment opportunities as purchasing stocks and bonds issued by publicly-traded companies on a stock market, which effectively drains monetary resources from small businesses and main streets. Taking a closer look at our communities and the places where we live and work, we see that the real drivers of our prosperity are locally-owned businesses. A growing body of evidence demonstrates that small businesses, which constitute over half of our economy, are the most important creators of local income, wealth, and jobs. Community capital allows us to redirect investments away from Wall Street and back to Main Street.
