Re:generosity Society
The Conscious Chamber of Commerce

NOTE: This was written entirely by humans with a passion so please take a moment to settle into reading the old fashioned way. Your nervous system will thank you and we do too!

At this very moment there are millions of entrepreneurs and business leaders throughout the world who feel like giving up because the strain is becoming too much! They feel lost, unsupported and disconnected; struggling to make it through each long day and sleep through the night without waking up full of fear.
Then there are hundreds of thousands of corporate workers who just lost their jobs to AI in the last few months and are realizing that the security that they thought they had was an illusion. So many of them have dreams of starting their own company and being able to do things their way finally!
There are countless groups out there that you could join that are supposed to help alleviate the pain of being an entrepreneur but seem filled with repetitive self-promotion and could hardly be referred to as a community.
A Conscious Chamber of Commerce
The Chamber of Commerce is supposed to be the place in every city that would support entrepreneurs and business leaders who are seeking a community but unfortunately, it’s rare to find much more than typical networking. And of course discussing consciousness is still a taboo.
When you’re a conscious entrepreneur or business leader, you crave a much deeper level of authentic connection and a supportive community of kindred spirits that meets regularly. This is the oxygen that allows you to keep powering through the endless challenges!
A Conscious Chamber of Commerce is the closest analogy to what we are building but that probably doesn’t do our unique structure justice.
The Re:generosity Society Vision
Our mission is to facilitate meaningful connections and acts of generosity between Entrepreneurs, Business Leaders and Mentors.
Our vision is audacious since this is one of the core qualities we aim to inspire in our members!
We envision being the conscious alternative to the Chamber of Commerce in every major city, where members have multiple meaningful in person gatherings to attend each week, along with monthly online meetings that bring together people from all over the world to focus on specific domains and help each other.
We are building a movement that is long overdue; grounded in true generosity and authentic connections so entrepreneurs and leaders can feel part of a powerful community!
We envision being able to help tens of millions of people step into entrepreneurship and stick through the challenges as they are faced with the harsh reality of being replaced by AI at corporations.
Our Services
We’ve spent a lot of time trying to figure out how we can best create a professional and impactful community grounded in generosity and have come down to these pillars.
Our intention is to provide an enormous value to our members so we offer a lot in our base membership, but some of these are only available in the higher tiers or are a separate program cost.
Generosity Directory
Re:generosity Rounds
Hivemind Meetings
Mastermind Groups
Mentorship Connector
Weekly Luncheons
Authentic Hikes
Legal Docs Sharing
Intimate Jeffersonian Dinners
Shit Shows
Summits
Retreats
The common denominator with all of our offerings is introductions, connections and sharing, which we believe can make all of the difference between success and failure.
Generosity Directory
We encourage all of our members to provide free sessions or discounts to other members to create solidarity and a give-first culture. We make it easy to offer and track through our Generosity Directory so you can see how members have been willing to support each other.
This is where being in the higher tiers can really pay off with access to amazing offers but we believe that many members will easily get their membership dues back by the offers available in any of the tiers. Freebies also provide members with credits to make it easier to level up tiers.
Re:generosity Rounds
Once a month we run a Re:generosity Round, which is a gamified way of members helping each other with asks. Teams of up to 12 people form and have 5 days to fulfil each of their team mate’s requests; with just one per member.
When joining you only see the requests of the existing group members taking out the bias and making it easier to enter. A kickoff zoom meeting introduces the group’s participants and helps them clarify their intentions.
There is a competitive aspect to see how quickly groups can fulfil all of the member’s requests and what magnitude of asks can be met! At the end of the 5 days we hold a ceremony to celebrate the wins and share the stories of what people received!
This structure removes the tit-for-tat dynamics and makes it about the group’s success. It also makes it much easier for people to reach out to their network to ask for help on behalf of others in their group.
Hivemind Meetings
Monthly online Hivemind meetings that bring the larger communities from all over the world together to share about their wins and challenges. Segmented based on domain and level of experience to ensure a coherent experience.
A great place to meet potential partners and co-founders. The larger groups are expertly facilitated and the smaller groups follow our meeting format to ensure that everyone’s voices are heard.
The meetings are recorded, except when opted out, in order for AI to distill the best nuggets and be able to share those with the larger community in our newsletters. So even if you can’t make it to a meeting, you’re still in the loop!
Mastermind Groups
Quarterly commitment to show up weekly or bi-weekly to meet with your cohort which are matched on domain and revenue level. Our masterminds are facilitated by pro coaches and are geared for those who are seeking personal growth through their business ventures.
We charge a separate program cost for the Masterminds based on your revenue level to be able to provide a high quality experience.
Mentorship Connector
No matter who you are and what you’ve accomplished, it seems like we could always use a mentor but they can be so illusive and inconsistent.
We know a lot of people struggle to ask for help, which is why we have one of our staff facilitate the thoughtful introduction to mentors as part of our onboarding process.
We provide a template for what an ideal relationship looks like to ensure that both the mentor and the mentee get the most out of their time together and have clear expectations.
Weekly Luncheons
An easy opportunity to drop in with your community in person each week to share about your wins and challenges. We try to segment in order to match people up to their peer groups.
Only available in cities with over 100 members.
Authentic Hikes
Our authentic hikes are the best way to network for outdoorsy people. We partner up for shoulder to shoulder connections kicked off by a prompt designed to cut through all of the small talk and straight to who you really are. Fifteen minutes cycles ensure you get to meet plenty of people during the 90 min hike while having enough time to go deep with them.
Legal Docs Sharing
We are building out a directory of the most common legal docs to save our members on attorney fees and so that they don’t rely upon the flimsy drafts provided by AI. We provide members credits for sharing to incentivize.
Only available in the higher tiers.
Jeffersonian Dinners: The Intimate Events focused on Action
Sharing food is already a bonding experience but done via a Jeffersonian dinner at someone’s home is another level. The key is nine people or less, focused on one impactful topic to be able to take action on.
Done monthly with members rotating hosting and the host picking the topic. Our style is for those that are sick of the typical mental masturbation and want to connect with other change agents to lay out tangible plans!
Shit Shows
Our Shit Shows are an evening of bonding and storytelling over our worst mistakes and how we were able to recover from them.
Twenty minute per person on stage to inspire others that no matter what happens to you, it’s always possible to recover. Plus, hearing about how badly others have fucked up should make you feel much better about your own!
We start the evening with our authentic style networking designed to help you meet more people and go deeper then you normally would.
Only available in cities with over 500 members.
Summits
Hosting an annual TEDx style gathering allows the cross-pollination of ideas and for people to see who else is working towards the same shared vision in the busy ecosystem.
We envision these becoming annual homecomings where members rekindle relationships and are re-inspired to think big!
Retreats
In-person retreats allow us to bring members together in intimate ways in new locations, allowing them to realign and get clarity on their path forward. The Masterminds following the retreats lock in that momentum!
Activating and Rewarding Volunteers
We are a professionally run organization with paid staff but we know that we can’t do it all, which is why we rely on volunteers to help us host.
We reward our volunteers with credits which can be used to upgrade their membership or get a discount on next year’s membership. We foresee some stellar members who will end up having free memberships for years!
Intros from supperconnectors and other super helpful acts are parts of our rewards system.
Onboarding New Members
Our monthly onboarding calls allow us a chance to orient our new members and ensure that they get the most from their membership and the network. Our intention is for all of our members to feel welcomed and to plug in fully!
Portable Belonging
Just imagine being able to land in any sizeable city in the world knowing that you can instantly connect with other kindred spirits without having to be a superconnector.
All you have to do is reach out the local chapter’s leadership and ask for help connecting with the right people there. This is one of our main motivators behind creating a worldwide network; to feel connected anywhere you go in the world!
How many people would end up moving somewhere else if they could instantly become part of a community there?
Growth Strategy
It’s all about partnerships! There are so many amazing organizations out there already which are filled with the kind of people we are seeking. Partnering allows them to gain further exposure and attract more members, especially when members share which other groups they are a part of!
We are focusing on launching in specific cities and building out a waitlist to see where we should launch next!
Tiers
Our base membership is meant to always be affordable and packed with goodness so it should be a no-brainer for any committed entrepreneur. It’s currently only $360/year.
Our 3 other tiers go up by roughly 3X over each other and are mainly for growth stage or legacy oriented entrepreneurs who are seeking more intimate gatherings, like the Jeffersonian Dinners, and more concierge style services.
We are 501c6 nonprofit so all of the revenue goes back into our services to be able to provide the highest level that we possibly can to support our members.
Next Steps - How to Plug In
If you resonate with this vision then please submit our interest form, and lets connect on LinkedIn. Please feel free to send a message about which part excites you the most.
We have some amazing Advisors already committed but we are looking to fill out the Board of Advisors with passionate and experienced human beings, so please share this with your network.
We really appreciate any help you’re willing to provide! We know this is a monumental effort and we are committed to the mission of supporting entrepreneurs and business leaders who are making an impact!
Thank you so much for your time and presence!
