the regenerative entrepreneur network
our driver
We are experiencing severely detrimental changes in human society and all living ecosystems, with the prevailing kind of entrepreneurship being one of the major reasons.
Business needs regenerative entrepreneurs and pioneers who are building companies that contribute to a thriving future for all living beings on this earth.
But these leaders cannot unleash their full transformational capabilities without really strong ties and deep meaningful relationships with other conscious entrepreneurs on eye level.
We need ways to multiply their impact and solve humanity's most significant challenges together.
Why we need regenerative entrepreneurs
Entrepreneurship is one of the most powerful forces there is.
Everything around us was created by an inventive entrepreneur who had the idea and the skills to make it happen. We see entrepreneurship as the art of bringing visions into reality.
This craft can be used to deepen the global problems we have right now or to contribute to a thriving world for all.
But deciding for the latter is not enough. It has already caused so much damage to society and other ecosystems, which need regeneration.
Regeneration means turning an infertile piece of land which has previously been a monoculture farm into a thriving, lush forest.
Regeneration means hiring an employee who got bullied at his last job for being too crazy, too nerdy and offering him a place where he can fully express all his gifts and finally be himself.
Regeneration means shifting your company from a standard hierarchical structure “I’m your boss and tell you what to do” into a self-managing organization, where everybody is a leader and has a stake in the company.
Regeneration means putting the needs of the seven upcoming generations into consideration when making business or personal decisions.
And regeneration also means building a big, global, financially successful business around your purpose.
It’s about the regeneration of all capitals - human, social, natural, financial, etc.
Somebody having the capability to take care of them all and is aiming every day to become a little bit more regenerative than yesterday, is a true leader.
A regenerative entrepreneur guiding humanity into the future.
Our vision
We are building a global ecosystem consisting of high-level regenerative entrepreneurs co-creating the future.
A place where you have direct access to world-leading experts in their respective fields.
With an internal economy enabling a web of mutual investments leading to crowdfunded community spaces all over the world - thrive villages as we call them - where network members live full-time or temporarily.
We aim to build the world's most vibrant places, totally immersed in nature, with extremely bright and talented people next door. Places where all areas of your life seamlessly flow into each other and a holistically healthy and fulfilling life is easy.
With retreat & incubator facilities birthing and training the next generation of changemakers.
These spaces will be strongly interlinked online, allowing the sharing of information and learnings as well as people moving between communities.
Where all this may lead?
Gaining diplomatic recognition as a sovereign state. A network state. (see Balaji Srinivasans book “the network state”)
And being a role model for the society of the future.
The network. Where we begin now.
Forum
An online platform where the network members are able to share ideas, skills, resources and give and take mutual support. Think of it as your personal entrepreneurial support system.
Mastermind
The network regularly comes together in online mastermind sessions hosted by thrive. In different formats we dive deeper and support each other on our journeys to fully expressing our regenerative capabilities.
Workshops
A key component of the network are frequent workshops on relevant topics hosted by renowned experts - either from within the network or outside invited by thrive.
Genesis. Our in-person gatherings.
We are experiencing severely detrimental changes in human society and all living ecosystems, with the prevailing kind of entrepreneurship being one of the major reasons.Multiple times a year we are offering mastermind events in the world's most beautiful regenerative locations.

WHO WE‘RE LOOKING FOR
Thrive pursues a very careful member selection process in order to ensure the highest network value. The qualifying criteria include:
- high level of self-awareness
- strong leadership capabilities
- vibrant energy level and health
- conscious and actively caring about the environment (food, consumption, waste, etc.)
- doing business with the primary aim of fulfilling a purpose beyond generating wealth
- 5+ years of entrepreneurship experience
- 250k+ Euro yearly company revenue
- selling products that deliver extraordinary value
- working towards products being created in a regenerative way
- running an organization that is a catalyst for personal growth of the people interacting with it
- questioning the standard hierarchical organizational structure, shifting towards alternatives (self-management)
- having a regular practice of giving back (philanthropy)
These criteria are not fixed, they will be molded over time by the network members who participate in the member selection process through sociocracy. In edge cases there is the possibility of substituting one requirement with an outstanding satisfaction of another.
Membership fees
We strongly sense that the classic payment model for memberships is outdated. A fixed monthly or yearly rate that is the same for every member, regardless of the value that he or she is getting, just didn’t feel aligned with our values.
Inspired by Charles Eisenstein, our founder Robert Gladitz began experimenting with the concept of gift economy many years ago. Creating products and services where you put in all your love and then gifting them to customers who out of gratitude for the valuable gift they received feel the urge to give a generous sum in return.
This is an economy rooted in trust, gratitude and abundance - qualities we want to manifest more of in this world.
So the destination is clear: every network member should be able set his individual membership fee according to the value he received in the past 3 or 6 months.
Given the current needs of the thrive organization for financial predictability and cashflow, we will be starting with the following and from there go steady steps into a full economy of the gift:
Every member pays a yearly membership fee of 2.400 Euro when he or she enters the network and at the end of the year, he or she is able to do a gratitude adjustment (raising or lowering his fee retrospectively) based on the value he or she received resulting in an additional gifting or a refund.
For Genesis, our offline gatherings, thrive charges a fixed fee upfront to cover for expenses (location, food, team, preparations, etc.) and afterwards each member makes a gift that feels appropriate for the value thrive provided by hosting the experience.
We are very excited to embark together with our members on the journey towards a revolutionary economic paradigm.
A final word
The thrive regenerative entrepreneur network is just starting. All of our founding members will be personally invited. So please don’t forward this brochure to anybody else.
Of course we have the ambition to grow. At a later stage the network will accept applications. But for now we are looking to create a very intimate founding setting consisting of only a small group of pioneering members.
If you feel called to join the network and want to discuss further details, please contact our founder, Robert Gladitz.
