The potential emerges from the living connections of a place:

its lands, its waters, its creatures, its people, and their story. RDC founded the Planetary Regenerative Trust on decades of technology and design rooted in how living systems work, to move the economy from extraction to regeneration.

What We Do

We invest in enabling technology for regeneration.

RDC is a holding company formed for four sectors of regenerative development. It takes equity and debt in the companies that give places, cities and communities the tools to regenerate.

Regenerative agriculture

Food & Forest

Technologies that grow food and fiber with living systems: soil health, biodiversity and working forests that restore the land they depend on.

Carbon-neutral construction

Building Technology

Structural components that replace concrete, steel and other unsustainable products. They sequester CO2 and resist fire, wind and mold, at lower cost.

AI · Automation · more

Emerging Technology

Human-centered AI for good: privacy-first data and tools that help cities and communities plan, adapt and track long-term impact.

Regenerative systems thinking

Education

Virtue-based education from K–12 through university, with hands-on curriculum built on living systems and models for mental health.

How we invest

Equity and preferred equity

RDC holds equity and debt in any company within the four pillars.

LP / GP project funds

Multi-project funds and project-level SPVs, with RDC and developers as GPs.

Debt, joint ventures and royalties

Structured to match each company's stage and cash flow.

Grants and donations

Donor-advised funds and project-focused giving for education and health programs.

Credits and incentives

A clearinghouse for carbon, solar and other incentives and credits.

How the Trust works →The Structure
The Inflection Point

Extractive economics has reached the end of its road. It's time to work the way nature works.

Five centuries of extraction brought us to a threshold. The question is no longer whether to build differently, but whether capital can learn to value life before it runs out of time. Regenerative Development Corp exists for that turn.
