Based on Financial + Cultural Coherence - Czechia Gathering 2025 - transcript , here are the different funding strategies discussed:

Hypha’s Ecosystem Investing Strategy

• Coalition Approach: Hypha's main strategy is "ecosystem investing," which involves bringing together various investor archetypes—including benefactors, family offices, VCs, and impact investors—into a coalition. This coalition forms an "investable space" or "problem space" focused on areas like renewable energy, biodiversity, or technology.
• Transparent Capital Deployment: Capital from these investors would be deployed transparently using the Hypha platform. The funds go to a central coalition space, where the members decide how to distribute the budget among different projects and organizations through proposals.
• Investor Education: The model is also intended as a training program to show investors the possibilities of new technologies and different funding models.
• Partnerships: Hypha is partnering with Earth Collective, an organization that connects investors with projects by helping investors define their mandate and helping projects structure their pitches.

Planetir’s Multi-Entity Strategy

• Ecosystem of Entities: Planetir utilizes an ecosystem approach with multiple legal entities to accommodate different funding types.
  • A Berlin-based non-profit organization receives philanthropic funds, grants, and donations from family offices and private donors.
  • A for-profit software company called ThinkIt funds parts of Planetir through a service-level business model and SaaS subscriptions.
  • A new for-profit entity is being explored to allow for equity investments from impact investors and family offices, offering shares and potentially using convertible notes that translate into governance tokens. Governance would be structured so that investing more money does not grant more decision-making power on crucial issues.
  • Another for-profit entity focused on sovereign data exchange is being incorporated, with the goal of turning it into a steward-owned company or placing it under a foundation. Revenue from this could feed into a collective fund.
• Collective Fund: Planetir is actively developing a collective fund that captures value from its ecosystem. The community will then decide how to distribute these funds to various projects and ventures, including Planetir itself. They are exploring using Hypha's infrastructure for this governance process.
• Funding Goal: The immediate goal is to raise between €2 and €5 million, with the assumption that this amount will allow their business models to become self-sufficient without needing subsequent funding rounds.

Coherence’s Conventional Funding Strategy

• Standard Structure: Coherence seeks standard, conventional funding, similar to a traditional company, to achieve its goal of reaching one billion users. The speaker believes standard venture-style funding is the only way to raise the necessary large-scale capital (e.g., €50-100 million) for software projects.
• Dual Use and Impact Investing: The project is seen as a "dual use technology". While open to impact investing, there is a concern about getting "stuck in the ghetto of impact" and the limited size of the impact funding pool, especially for software.

Allelo’s New Asset Class Strategy

• Systemic Investing: Allelo aims to create a new, lower-risk asset class by combining multiple organizations working toward a shared goal into a "networked adaptive organism". This non-competitive approach lowers risk for investors, which in turn allows for lower returns.
• Phased Funding Approach:
  1. Wealthy Individuals: Start with individually wealthy people willing to take a higher risk on a small portion of their portfolio.
  2. Family Offices and Institutional Investors: Once the model is proven, approach family offices and eventually pension funds.
  3. Crowdfunding: The ultimate goal is to enable crowdfunding, where active members of the network can contribute small amounts (e.g., $10/month) to create a significant financial impact.
• Incubator Model: Allelo acts as an incubator for "nows" (networked adaptive organisms), which are coalitions of organizations focused on specific topics. Investors can choose to invest in a specific now/coalition or a managed fund that distributes capital across the ecosystem.

RegenOS - A Shared, Collective Strategy

• Joint Fundraising: The overarching idea is for Hypha, Planetir, and other organizations to receive funding together under the working title "RegenOS".
• Shared Narrative: A key component is creating a strong, shared narrative around "RegenOS". This narrative helps attract investors who want to add this "category" to their portfolio, giving the collective effort more credibility and motion.
