Who it’s for, why they’d join, what they get and where it lives, written on one page.

Service
Build the room before you open the door.
You want customers who talk about you when you’re not there. We help you build the community, memberships and events that make that happen.
Community and events is a Regenerate Capital service for founders who want customers to become advocates. We design and launch communities, memberships, retreats and small local events around the problem you solve, with a clear rhythm, rules and ways to measure what they bring. You get a community your team can run and grow.
What’s included
What the service includes.
Open and invite-only groups
One open group to be found and one smaller group for your most engaged members.
Programming calendar
A weekly and monthly rhythm of posts, calls and gatherings your team can keep up.
Small local events
Breakfasts, dinners and meetups in the cities that matter to you, photographed and published.
Retreats and memberships
Longer formats for your best customers and partners, when the community is ready for them.
Community-led launches
Pre-sales and community rounds that turn early members into owners, where it fits your company.
Sound familiar?
Do you have these problems?
- You launched a Slack or Discord, and it went quiet after two weeks.
- Your customers like your product, but they never talk to each other or about you.
- Every launch starts from zero because nobody is waiting for it.
- You ran one big event, it cost a fortune, and nothing came of it afterwards.
- You answer the same questions one customer at a time.
Our approach
How we solve them.
01
Start from the problem
We build the community around the problem your members share, not around your product. People join for each other.
02
Start small and personal
The first members are invited one by one, and every question gets a personal answer for the first 90 days.
03
Set a steady rhythm
A calendar your team can actually keep, because a quiet community is harder to revive than to start.
04
Take it offline
Small events in several cities, captured and published, so a few rooms reach far more people than attend.
05
Hand members a role
Early members help shape the product, host, write and invite. People promote what they helped build.
Track record
How we’ve solved it before.
Drawn from our founder’s past roles and companies. Past results don’t guarantee future outcomes.
Retreats for founders
Our founder co-founded Remote Work Villas, remote-work retreats for founders, investors and operators.
Token communities
Joaquim built the token communities at TrustSwap, which reached users in 75+ countries, and at Alpaca Network.
A community round
Alpaca Network’s community round raised $1.2M in 2 weeks.
Do it yourself
Resources to solve it yourself.
Start this week
- Write down the problem your best customers share, in their words. That sentence is the reason your community exists.
- Invite ten customers personally to a 30-minute group call about that problem, and just listen.
- Pick one city where you have five or more customers and book a breakfast for 20 people.
- After your next event, publish the photos and three lessons within a week.

Questions
Straight answers.
Which platform should our community use?
The one your members already open every day. We choose it with you after looking at where your customers spend their time.
How big does a community need to be to matter?
Small is fine. A few dozen engaged members who talk to each other are worth more than thousands who never post.
How do terms work?
Terms are flexible and shaped around your startup: equity, cash, commission, in-kind or a mix, agreed in writing before we start.
