Bioregional Venture Studio

**Pattern Name** Bioregional Venture Studio

**Introduction** A Bioregional Venture Studio is a non-profit, public benefit corporation, co-operative, steward-owned entity, or DAO that supports the development of a cohort of synergistic regenerative organizations to drive systems change. It may raise capital from philanthropic grants, public sector grants, supply chain finance, and concessional capital. It will seek to invest in and incubate cohorts of early-stage organizations that work together to change a specific system (i.e. the food or energy system) and generate cascading benefits

**Initial Situation**

**PROBLEM** There is a lack of connective tissue between those that hold and manage the large (and increasingly concentrated) pool of financial resources (leaves of the tree) and the coalitions of actors on the ground (regenerators) carrying out these critical regenerative activities. BFFs such as the Bioregional Venture Studio can serve this function.
