Conscious Capitalism

What Conscious Capitalism does

Conscious Capitalism, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2009 and headquartered in San Francisco, United States, dedicated to reshaping the purpose and practice of capitalism. The organization was co-founded by Raj Sisodia alongside John Mackey, Scott McIntosh, and Ed Offterdinger, and positions itself as a community of CEOs, founders, and thought leaders who view business as a force for good. Its operational scope is global, anchored by a network of Local Chapters that convene like-minded leaders at the regional level.

The organization's product surface consists of an integrated content-plus-community ecosystem rather than a technology platform. Core offerings include the CCI Business Course (educational training on the Conscious Capitalism philosophy), a library of articles and case studies, a curated bookstore, a podcast featuring conscious business leaders, and a general Resources hub. Community programs include the CCI Membership (currently on a waitlist ahead of full launch), Local Chapters, and the invite-only annual CEO Summit scheduled for September 8-10, 2026 in Colorado. Corporate sponsorships from mission-aligned businesses provide a parallel funding channel, with named sponsors including HP, Thrivent, Improving, LAZ, and others.

The revenue model is multi-stream and nonprofit in structure: membership subscriptions (pre-launch), CEO Summit registration fees, corporate sponsorships, and educational content/course sales. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, and the organization operates with a lean team of 1-10 employees. The underlying technology is limited to standard web, podcast, and social media distribution channels (LinkedIn, YouTube, Instagram, X, Facebook, email newsletter); there are no proprietary software products, APIs, or AI components. Distribution is primarily direct-to-executive via the membership and summit, and community-led through the global chapter network.

Direct peers

• B Lab (B Corp): B Lab administers the B Corp certification and leads the broader movement for businesses to meet social and environmental performance standards. It is the closest direct peer: a nonprofit ecosystem promoting stakeholder-conscious business with certification, community, and thought leadership targeting the same CEO and founder audience.
• Aspen Institute: Aspen Institute is a nonprofit that convenes leaders through programs, summits, and fellowships to drive values-based leadership and policy dialogue. Highly comparable in mission and operating model: invite-only executive convenings, leadership development programs, and a strong thought-leadership brand.
• YPO (Young Presidents' Organization): YPO is a global membership community of CEOs offering peer learning, forums, and leadership development. Directly comparable business model—paid membership of chief executives, chapter-based community, and executive education—targeting a near-identical persona.
• EO (Entrepreneurs' Organization): EO is a global peer-to-peer network for founders and CEOs providing member events, learning forums, and leadership programming. Comparable member-driven, chapter-based model serving purpose-driven entrepreneurs.
• Vistage Worldwide: Vistage provides paid peer advisory groups and executive coaching for CEOs and business leaders. Comparable in that it monetizes CEO communities through recurring membership, similar to the model Conscious Capitalism is preparing to launch.
• Drucker Institute: Drucker Institute advances Peter Drucker's management philosophy through education, research, and executive programming. Closely comparable as a nonprofit devoted to disseminating a named business philosophy via courses, articles, and executive events.

Broad incumbents

• World Economic Forum: WEF convenes global leaders around stakeholder capitalism through the Annual Meeting in Davos and policy initiatives. Operates at much larger scale but pursues a similar thought-leadership agenda around business as a force for societal good, with both summit and ongoing programming.
• BSR (Business for Social Responsibility): BSR is a sustainable business nonprofit working with corporate members on ESG strategy, advisory, and convening. Overlaps with Conscious Capitalism's mission to integrate social and environmental purpose into business practice, though it focuses more on consulting and advisory services.

Emerging players

• Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship: Schwab Foundation operates as the social entrepreneurship arm of the World Economic Forum, recognizing and convening purpose-driven business leaders. Comparable in curating a community of conscious leaders and offering summit-style recognition, though scoped specifically to social entrepreneurship.
• Aspen Ideas Festival: Aspen Ideas Festival is a high-profile public ideas and leadership event produced by the Aspen Institute. Comparable in format—annual flagship gathering of leaders and thinkers—and adjacent in the broader purpose-driven leadership convening market.
