At Elegant Ventures, we're not chasing mythical unicorns—we're breeding a thriving herd of zebras to drive real, impactful change. We believe that a collective of resilient, purpose-driven companies can outperform any unicorn when it comes to accelerating bioregional regeneration at scale.
We're dedicated to systematically creating, supporting, and scaling startups that align with our vision of sustainable development and regenerative living. By fostering businesses that are both profitable and socially responsible, we're revitalizing regional ecosystems and building a more harmonious world.
Zebras Over Unicorns
Unicorns might grab headlines, but zebras build lasting legacies. Our herd thrives on collaboration over competition, proving that a united group of purpose-driven companies can beat the heck out of any lone unicorn.
Balancing Purpose and Profit
By focusing on businesses that balance purpose and profit, we're redefining success and making a lasting positive impact on the communities we serve.
Collaboration Opportunities
We're open to joining forces with corporate venture builders and VCs who share our vision. If you're working on businesses that align with our ecosystem and believe in the power of zebras over unicorns, we'd love to connect.
Our Approach
1
Venture Building Methodology
We utilize a proven, systemic approach to create high-touch and high-tech businesses quickly. This method allows us to rapidly accumulate experience, minimize repeated mistakes, and ensure a steady flow of innovative startups.
2
Integration and Collaboration
Through our théra centers—living labs where stakeholders co-create, develop, and test new ideas—we foster innovation and tailor sustainable solutions to community needs. We collaborate with R&D centers, universities, private companies, and local communities to build a robust ecosystem of knowledge-sharing and innovation.
3
Flexible Structures
We embrace flexible containers and teams rather than fixed corporate structures. With fractional ownership and bootstrap approaches, we keep a very low employee headcount, allowing us to adapt quickly and scale successful startups rapidly.
4
Common-Sense Business Models
Each venture is grounded in simple, 'boring' business models, the magic comes from the herd working together. With strong execution from capable teams and support from our ecosystem, our ventures have excellent prospects for becoming healthy, sustainable businesses that make a difference.
