The Regenerative Investment Challenge 2025
Earth Collective × Hypha: a 12-week, high-signal program where investors and ventures work inside six regenerative problem spaces. Earth Collective gets ventures investment-ready. Hypha becomes the hub to manage relationships, capital, and IR afterward. Investors receive Hypha tokens and access to investor, problem, venture, and coalition spaces.
Investment, not theater
Not a hackathon. Not an accelerator. No demo‑day noise. We align investors and ventures in defined regenerative problem spaces, build investment‑ready profiles in 6 weeks, then run campaigns and investor connects for 6 more. Investors receive Hypha tokens and access to spaces to manage deals, relationships, and IR beyond the program.
For Ventures
6 weeks to build a portable, investor‑ready profile. 6 weeks of structured feedback and warm connects inside your problem space. Graduate into Hypha to manage ongoing relationships and capital.
