ReFi DAO

🌱 Unlocking the Future of Investment: Episode 6 of The Regeneration Nexus is Here! Co-hosts Tereza Bízková and Maya Dentzel had the pleasure of speaking with Ebru Kaya, co-founder of the Regenerative Investing Institute and CEO of Atreyu Investments. In this episode, Ebru challenges the traditional profit-first model by focusing on what she calls the “heartbeat” of communities and ecosystems. Her vision for regenerative investing is all about moving from extracting value to nurturing and unlocking potential—centering people, nature, and connection as the core drivers of investment. Key Takeaways from Episode 6: 💡 Beyond Profit: Ebru talks about moving beyond typical financial metrics to focus on indicators of well-being like safer roads, cultural preservation, and access to education. 🗣️ Empowering Local Voices: Real change happens when investment aligns with the needs of the community, respecting local knowledge and values. Ebru emphasizes that listening is key to building trust and sustainable impact. 🌱 Shifting from Extraction to Regeneration: Ebru’s work redefines traditional models by treating communities and ecosystems as assets to restore, not exploit. This shift is essential to building resilient futures. 🌿 Natural Systems Thinking: Drawing inspiration from nature’s balance and collaboration, regenerative investing promotes holistic growth, where both communities and ecosystems can thrive together.
