Three horizons – where we are, and where we’re heading
But where are we headed? We tend to think about the portfolio’s development in three horizons. This isn’t a project plan per se, it’s more of a direction of travel.
Horizon 1 (now → 12 months):
Populate the heatmaps with current, pipeline, and watchlist projects. Think about funding gaps. Use in-person gatherings to collectively read the map and reflect.
Make the portfolio visible for other wealth holders, family offices and make sure that our shared learning journey has a visibility, with stories of our explorers, mentorship readiness from our explorers to nudge our own wealth industry and work on bigger scaled things and keep all relational fabric as healthy as possible.
Horizon 2 (12–36 months):
As clusters form across bioregions, steward-ownership vehicles, and narrative and culture initiatives, explore shared structures: co-guarantee mechanisms inspired by community-as-guarantor models, syndication infrastructure for larger tickets, public equity, systemic real estate. Engage more Explorers that look for our non-standardized approach. We will grow into different clubs, some of them will be born from our interest to have a club on philantrophy, or on democracy, or one for family offices. We’ll start sharing about this soon.
Horizon 3 (3–5+ years):
One option is a systemic family-office structure with different governance and different power dynamics, possibly based on or connected to commons infrastructure. The first meetings have been taking place to select all players that will be involved. This would be quite am shift and will take time to form. Maybe we will go faster, but in 3 to 5 years we envisage that some of us will begin evolving from exploratory stage and we would hope that a systemic approach is not being seen as exceptional anymore.
The goal isn’t to build a bigger elite structure. It’s to make this kind of portfolio normal enough that it stops being exceptional.
