"Future generations, if there is a livable world for them, will look back at the epochal transition we are making to a life-sustaining society.  And they may well call this the time of the Great Turning."  - Joanna Macy

social value creation

Om provides program design, implementation support, capital formation and impact investment advisory to a broad spectrum of organizations and investors committed to low-carbon transition, regenerative ecology, social justice and artistic endeavor.  We harness interdependencies among stakeholders in complex systems - climate, food, finance, policy - to generate interactive and transactive capital and create alignment.



Allostasis (′al·ə′stā·səs) n: the process of achieving inner and outer harmony (stasis) through internal transformation (allo; variability) in response to rapid or unpredictable changes in external environment.



designed to scale

We capture the broadest applicable range of collaborative acumen and capital by bringing clients into system alignment through inter/intra sectoral partnerships.  Within that context social enterprises will inevitably be more stable and capital efficient than simple profit maximizers over time.  Drawing on leadership experience from social enterprises, tech start-ups, design consulting, private equity and investment banking, we engage from design through implementation, and specialize in structuring full-spectrum financial support from governments, philanthropies and market-rate capital providers to diversify risk and accelerate deployment.
