Our Business Model
Regenerators is a small business, and we believe the way we fund and structure our work must reflect the principles we teach. Our business model is designed to channel finances to custodians of ecosystem regeneration, while ensuring that those with less financial resources can still access our programmes and courses.
This is not an afterthought. It is an intentional financial architecture designed to regenerate systems and redistribute resources.
The “Robin Hood Principle”
Every time a corporation enrolls in the Regenerative Leadership Journey at the sponsorship tier, they simultaneously fund a scholarship for someone without the financial means to participate. This creates direct reciprocity between those with resources and those who are passionate about regeneration but could not otherwise join.
Through this principle, the Academy offers at least 30 scholarships each year. Recognising that regenerative change often grows from grassroots leadership in communities closest to ecological and social challenges, these scholarships are prioritised for applicants from the Global South, including community leaders, entrepreneurs, farmers, and startup founders. This model not only brings a plurality of perspectives into the Journey but also opens the door for South–North Partnerships (a concept pioneered by our partners at the African Way Association), rooted in reciprocity, compassion and shared commitment to a regenerative future.
Regenerative Ripples
10% of all our revenue (minus local VAT) flows directly into regenerative projects, with a focus on land restoration and empowering Indigenous voices. Since 2023, Regenerators has contributed an average of €12,000 annually to organisations such as African Way, Akaama Regenerative Community, ARBIO Peru and the Kwiakah Nation.
Fair compensation
Too often, knowledge and wisdom-keepers are expected to share their skills without being paid. We ensure that guest speakers in our Academy are fairly compensated for their time and wisdom.
Honouring cycles
The way we work allows space for rest and reflection, recognising that regeneration is as much about inner sustainability as outer impact.
