In the video below, author and certified planner Della Rucker does a great job framing the need for new approaches to community development (note that it’s a practice run of the opening to a keynote address). While she frames the impending and massive changes of AI and robotics within community development, any successful “future-proofing” of our economy (Della’s wise term) will depend on how we collectively harness our creativity, intuition, and spirit. To do that, we need to build a society where problems are reasons to connect, reconcile our differences, and find joy in working together. A society that trades consumerism for collective purpose and learns to find satisfaction in the small moments of cooperation. In other words, a society where people believe in their ability to build a future that works for everyone. Arguing will not work, especially not the demonizing debate we see in Congress, statehouses, and even school board meetings. To build faith in each other, we need empathetic conversations that help us understand how we each experience society’s problems. To create systemic solutions, we first need to create structures of belonging and cooperative methodologies that are inherently enjoyable. Imagine a room so alive that public leaders don’t need to worry about whether people will attend the next “problem-solving” conversation. Imagine conversations where people shift from complaints to actionable requests, from hard answers to soft questions, from individual wants to community needs. That’s what’s required to address our most existential issues. Public leaders who combine empathetic conversations with Della’s practical wisdom will build their community’s capacity to handle anything. Despite inevitable hardships, deep connection and a common purpose will lead to faith in each other and a joyful journey of mutual support -- the necessary foundation for true community resilience. https://lnkd.in/gcSMDXMU

Building something doesn’t happen all at once, it just appears that way. Anyone who’s - I don’t know, alive? - knows that things are … weird. Uncommon. Unprecedented. Uneasy. Everywhere. Which means you might have to find a new, longer runway before taking off. To fight through the uncharted path before you. ALL that to say, Renew Venture Capital is finally stepping more decisively into this unknown, mapping a difficult but more purposeful course in how to fund that isn’t full of the same results to new problems. So you know, subscribe to our newsletter to learn about how and why we’re on this road.
