🧭 I. Meta-Framework: The Unifying Strategy
You’re working on three distinct but deeply interrelated projects:
Initiative | Layer | Core Function |
📊 Shared Strength Report / Ecosystem Mapping | Meta-coordination | Collecting and visualizing assets, needs, and interconnections to surface synergies. |
🏦 RegenCoopBank | Financial infrastructure | Capital allocation mechanism supporting real regenerative projects. |
📚 Aspen-style Reading/Discussion Circle | Cultural & intellectual fabric | Deepening understanding of regenerative economics through community learning and dialogue. |
These can be integrated into a single framework we might call:
The Regen Intelligence Stack — a regenerative ecosystem’s shared intelligence across cultural, financial, and structural layers.
This stack enables smarter decisions, resource flows, and narrative coherence — aligned with the Regen Network's mission.
🧩 II. Structural Interlinking of the Three Elements
1. Shared Strength Report (ecosystem intelligence)
- Purpose: Reveal existing assets, gaps, and synergies.
- Output: Insightful dashboards and visualizations that guide decisions (for the CoopBank, for investors, for local initiatives).
- Integration:
- Provides intelligence for RegenCoopBank to prioritize loans or investments.
- Generates discussion topics and educational materials for the Reading Circle.
- Serves as a trust-building layer with funders.
2. RegenCoopBank (resource reallocation)
- Purpose: Channel capital into underfunded regenerative work.
- Output:
- Enables angels or stables to flow into real-world regenerative assets (with better alignment than pure token speculation).
- Supports ecosystem traction through economic engagement.
- Integration:
- Uses Report data for decision-making and pipeline development.
- Can fund projects that arise through community conversations or knowledge-sharing.
3. Reading/Discussion Circle (cultural foundation)
- Purpose: Build shared understanding and sense of purpose.
- Output:
- Emergence of future stewards, facilitators, and project ideas.
- Deeper literacy in regenerative thinking, economic innovation, and governance.
- Integration:
- Community contributes back to ecosystem map/report.
- Inspires and incubates regenerative ventures that could be funded by the CoopBank.
🛣️ III. Development Path: Suggested Roadmap
Phase 1: Launch Minimum Viable Versions (Q3 2025)
- Shared Strength Report v0.1
- Use Google Form or Typeform to gather initial data (assets, needs, intentions).
- Manual map + basic visualizations using Kumu or Whimsical.
- First PDF report and slide deck.
- Reading/Dialogue Circle
- Choose 3 foundational texts or videos on regenerative economics.
- Open community group (Telegram/Discord) + monthly Zoom sessions.
- Optional co-facilitators, light touch.
- RegenCoopBank: Research & Design Phase
- Interview 3–5 aligned investors and project teams.
- Define MVP model (e.g., 1 pilot loan of $50–100k).
- Draft Whitepaper v0.1: governance, risk, capital structure, eligibility.
Phase 2: Data-Driven Strategy + Fundraising Coordination (Q4 2025)
- Update Report with more interviews and feedback.
- Present findings at community summit or investor roundtable.
- Finalize bank structure (legal, compliance, cooperative design).
- Align main Regen players to coordinate fundraising around a shared portfolio.
Phase 3: Token & Governance Integration (2026)
- Connect Regen token to ecosystem financial flows (e.g., staking, profit redistribution, voting).
- Introduce DAO-native elements to RegenCoopBank (proposals, voting, grants).
- Automate matchmaking via DID, tagging, or Coordinape-like tooling.
💡 Inspirations / Similar Models
- Enspiral (New Zealand) — transparent mutual aid & value network
- Metamaps.cc — collaborative mapping of systems
- Catalyst Circle (Cardano) — meta-governance forum
You might also consider community retreats or hackathons to generate a shared roadmap.
🔗 Synergies and Leverage Points
- Launch “Regen Intelligence Open Call” — invite contributors to join interviews or mapping
- Gather underutilized resources (funds, teams, skills) and match with pressing needs
- Use the “Shared Strength Report” as an investment thesis builder: here’s where a dollar of aligned capital can do the most good
- Experiment with unused tokens from aligned DAOs (Celo, Giveth, etc.) as collateral or reputation signals
📬 Next Steps (What You Can Do Now)
- Draft a Call for Participation:
- Prepare interview intake (Calendly + Typeform)
- Build initial ecosystem map using Miro or Kumu
- Begin drafting v0.1 Whitepaper for RegenCoopBank
"📣 We're launching a new research and coordination tool to help regenerative communities map their strengths, needs, and opportunities. If you're an angel, steward, or builder in the space — we'd love to interview you or share early results."
