We exist for the turn.
Regenerative Development Corp is a regenerative private-equity firm that gives whole-systems development a governed financial rail — capital architecture built so the place is never sacrificed to the return.
Regeneration had the practice. It needed the capital.
For decades, ecological design moved along a single trajectory — from exploiting the Earth toward stewarding it. The practice of regenerative development, pioneered by Bill Reed and Regenesis Group, proved that development could add capacity to living systems instead of subtracting it. But it had no financial architecture to carry it at scale.
RDC was founded to close that gap. We built the Planetary Regenerative Trust to blend philanthropic, public, and private capital into one mission-locked vehicle — and we operate the technology and enterprise companies that serve the whole portfolio. We publish the methodology, govern the covenant, and carry measurement and reporting so each company and each place can do its work while the rail holds the discipline.
Life before Profits.
Three pillars. One discipline.
Regenerative Capital
We structure capital to value all five forms — natural, human, social, built, and financial — measured together, governed together.
Place-Based Development
Every project begins with the Story of Place. We do not force a timeline onto a landscape; build begins when the land can carry it.
Mission-Locked Governance
Dual reporting — financial and impact, side by side — and covenants that keep the discipline intact at scale, so the place is never sacrificed to the return.
Built by people who chose life first.
RDC was founded by Dave Ladouceur alongside practitioners in regenerative development, ecological design, and capital structure. The work draws on the lineage of Bill Reed and Regenesis Group — the coevolution of a place and its community — translated into capital that can fund it.

The Planetary Regenerative Trust, The Place Fund, Life AI, Living Building Systems, Regenity, and RDC itself — each company serves a distinct role in the regenerative capital stack, all governed by the same covenant and dual reporting framework.
