Description
Sustainability is not enough—we need regeneration. Through my ongoing work with ReFi DAO, Celo Public Goods, Trusted Seed, and Regen Coordination, I have continually aimed to grow the regen movement and empower communities at the forefront of ecological and social transformation.
ReFi DAO & Local Node Network
ReFi DAO has been at the forefront of catalyzing the Regenerative Finance (ReFi) movement. Since joining in November 2022 I have taken on many roles from leading ReFi Roundup, Website & Knowledge Graph, ReFi DAO Forums, ReFi London and much more. Together with John I co-founded the next stage of ReFi DAO’s journey with the development of the ReFi Local Node Network in 2023 and ultimately taking on source leadership at the end of 2023. I have helped to raise over $150k for ReFi Local Nodes and the Beta Cohort Incubator, offering over 20 hours of content to both aspiring and established Local Nodes.
- ReFi Local Nodes 2023 - Round Results & What's Coming Next
- Regenerative Journeys: ReFi Local Nodes 2023 Roundup
- 🌱 Local Node Incubator - Beta Cohort Retrospective!
I’ve also published over 60 pieces of original content on the ReFi DAO blog, engaging 4,000+ subscribers to further the ReFi movement.
Celo Public Goods (CeloPG)
As a lead steward at CeloPG, I’ve co-designed and operated five Gitcoin rounds, raising over $250k in match funding for regenerative projects, including:
- GG20 Climate Solutions Celo Bonus Round ($50k)
- GG21 Real World Builders ($75k)
- GG21 Regen Coordination ($50k)
- GG22 Regen Citizen's Round ($21k)
- GG22 BioFi Pathfinders Round ($55k)
I also helped launch Celo’s first Retroactive Public Goods Funding program, distributing 250,000 CELO. We’re now preparing for the Celo Citizen Retro with an additional $250k CELO.
Regen Coordination
I authored the original proposal for Regen Coordination in 2023, which has since evolved into an alliance of Web3 organizations collaborating to drive ecological, social, and economic regeneration. Over the past six months, Regen Coordination has helped raise $200k for local regenerative communities, bioregional organizing teams, and regen citizens. Learn more: Regen Coordination GG22.
ReFi Ecological Benefits Framework (EBF)
Supporting the development of an Ecological Benefits Framework (EBF) to explain impact with an intuitive visual language. Now, in collaboration with Spark Eco, I am supporting the development of Impact Scribe as a tool to help anyone showcase their project’s work using EBF and help unlock new sources of funding.
Events & Public Speaking
I led the organisation of ReFi Week in Portugal and I regularly engage in public speaking to amplify the message of regeneration and Web3. See my ReFi Talks Playlist.
I look forward to continuing this mission of regeneration, collaboration, and transformation across the globe. Thank you 🌱
