How to hack the finance system for regenerative returns

Jasper van Brakel of RSF for ImpactAlpha

Impact Voices | December 9, 2024

A regenerative economy – one that transcends the transactional, centers relationships, creates shared value, and uses money as a tool to regenerate communities and natural environments – is not just a utopian fantasy. I know that because a growing number of us are making it real. We’re hacking current finance structures to achieve regenerative returns, and in the process, we’re building regenerative models. 

RSF is fully committed to making regenerative finance business as usual, and we know it will take people working in many different ways and places to get there. I recently got together with two fellow practitioners – Betty Francisco, CEO of Boston Impact Initiative, and Mark Lewis, managing partner at Trailhead Capital – to talk about hacks that work, lessons learned and pathways forward.
