Slingshot — Regenerative Equity
A new asset class built on an innovative corporate design and steward ownership principles. Capital that serves the mission instead of extracting from it.
In developmentasset classsteward ownershipregenerative financeThe challenge
Why capital undermines mission
Classical equity asks for growth and exits — forcing regenerative organisations into choices that weaken their mission.
Extractive default
Ownership in most companies is designed to extract value, not to protect mission.
Steward ownership missing
Existing asset classes do not support structures where voting and profit rights are decoupled.
Investors lack an instrument
Those who want to invest regeneratively find no investment category that structurally guarantees mission lock.
Our approach
How Slingshot works
Slingshot is both a corporate design and a matching asset class. Investors provide capital and receive a fair, predictable return — but control over the mission stays structurally with the stewards. We decouple profit rights from voting rights and lock those agreements legally into the articles and shareholders' agreement.

Structural mission lock
1. Two share classes, cleanly separated
Stewards (founders, mission-holders) receive voting rights and mission-lock — they protect the direction and cannot be bought out. Investors receive a separate class with a clearly defined financial right: a fair return on capital, written into the articles. No mission dilution, no surprises in a later round.
2. Fair, predictable return instead of exit pressure
Instead of chasing a 10x exit, you as an investor receive an agreed profit share and/or a capped buy-back paid out of the company's cashflow. The return is real and market-aligned, but decoupled from any need to sell the company. The business can keep creating long-term value instead of being forced to "harvest" itself.
3. Mission-lock that legally holds
We use a veto share (gold share) held by an independent foundation that safeguards the mission. Changes to the core mission, or a sale that would break it, are structurally blocked in the articles. This is not an intent statement but an enforceable structure — vetted by legal experts and inspired by proven models such as Purpose Foundation and Verantwortungseigentum.
4. Transparent governance and reporting
Investors get a fixed seat at the information table: quarterly reporting on financials, mission progress and impact KPIs defined together up front. No voting rights over operational decisions, but full visibility. That delivers the comfort of classical investing without the extractive pressure.
5. Pilot tracks with real companies
We roll Slingshot out through guided pilots with a handful of regenerative scale-ups. In each pilot we walk through the corporate design, the term sheet, the fundraise and the first reporting cycle together. As an investor you help build an asset class that becomes scalable — while already earning return and learning impact along the way.
