The Regenerative Technology Project

What The Regenerative Technology Project does

The Regenerative Technology Project (RegenTech) is a San Francisco-based nonprofit, fiscally sponsored by Inquiring Systems, Inc. (EIN: 94-2524840), that advances regenerative technology through ecosystem building, advisory services, and open education. It operates with a small team of 1-10 employees and serves a horizontal base of startups, companies, nonprofits, and investors interested in regenerative outcomes.

Its core intellectual property is the Regenerative Tech Stack, a three-layer framework, operationalized through a free Regenerative Tech Assessment Tool (a 10-minute questionnaire) and a living Regenerative Technology Whitepaper. Supporting infrastructure includes the RegenTech Directory (75+ listed initiatives), the Innovation Station project pipeline, and a curated Resource Hub. Together these form an integrated framework-plus-tools stack that other organizations can use to evaluate and implement regenerative technology practices.

Revenue mechanics combine donation-based funding collected via Zeffy with three professional-services lines: Innovation Consulting, Technology Enablement, and Education/Workshops/Speaking. No pricing is publicly disclosed, no customer logos are named, and the fiscal-sponsorship arrangement with Inquiring Systems, Inc. is the organizational backbone. The model is therefore a hybrid nonprofit/services construct with distributed, transactional revenue rather than concentrated enterprise contracts.

Regional players

• Regenerative Design Group: Design practice applying regenerative principles to built environments and ecosystems. Comparable conceptual framework but focused on landscape/architecture rather than digital technology.

Broad incumbents

• Ellen MacArthur Foundation: Established nonprofit advancing the circular economy through research, frameworks, and global network-building. Comparable to RTP in that it curates a category (circular economy) using thought leadership, partnerships, and education programs.
• Global Reporting Initiative (GRI): Independent international organization that provides sustainability reporting standards used globally. Comparable to RTP's framework-development role, though operating at much greater scale and adoption.
• BSR (Business for Social Responsibility): Global nonprofit consultancy that works with businesses on sustainability strategy. Comparable as a consulting-plus-thought-leadership nonprofit serving similar enterprise and investor segments.

Direct peers

• B Lab: Global nonprofit that sets standards and certifies businesses (B Corps) for social and environmental performance. Like RTP, it operates a movement-building model around a proprietary framework plus assessments and a directory ecosystem.
• Green Software Foundation: Nonprofit consortium building standards and tooling for sustainable software. Most directly comparable peer — operates in the same 'technology + sustainability' niche, with framework development, member ecosystem, and open tooling.
• Capital Institute: Nonprofit think tank working on regenerative finance and economic frameworks. Comparable to RTP's regenerative-economy thought leadership and ecosystem-building model.
• Climate Neutral: Nonprofit that certifies brands on carbon neutrality standards. Comparable as a small nonprofit setting a category standard via certification/assessment tools and curated brand directory.

Emerging players

• Open Source Initiative: Nonprofit that stewards open-source standards and community. Comparable as a small nonprofit maintaining a framework/standard plus a global contributor and event ecosystem.
