About the Program
The SF Bay Area and wider Bay-Delta Bioregion hold extraordinary potential to lead the world in regenerative business innovation. Yet many mission-driven businesses face challenges scaling their impact while maintaining their values and achieving sustainable profitability.
This one-month intensive program is designed for regenerative businesses already generating revenue who are ready to unlock their next level of growth. Grounded in Doughnut Economics principles, we help businesses tackle their biggest challenges while building sustainable, values-aligned growth strategies.
Our Approach: We start with a comprehensive diagnostic to identify what might be blocking your business growth, then provide tailored support to address your top priority challenge. Whether it's scaling operations, accessing funding, refining your business model, or strengthening your impact measurement, we'll help you break through barriers.
Measuring Success
- Business Impact: Tangible progress on each business's key challenge and measurable advancement toward sustainable profitability
- Revenue Growth: Values-aligned revenue growth strategies that strengthen rather than compromise regenerative principles
- Community Impact: Enhanced positive impact on communities and ecosystems through strengthened business operations
