Place is the root. Ownership grows from it, the tracks are its leaves, the verticals are its branches, and Rainmatter’s tools turn capital into ownership on the ground, so that more places thrive.
Primary capital: Social · Network · Financial
Financial capital: Zerodha (ZBL)
Allied capital: Rainmatter Capital · Climate Investments
Place-based; each adopts RF’s thesis (the principle).
Climate-conscious cities
Ecological sustenance · Ecology · Economy · Social (light focus)
Where ecology thrives (the rest)
e.g. Buildings serves Urban and Rural, not Wild.
Financial · supporting work & artefacts
Social · travelling the problem
Network · complementarities & collaboration
Multidimensional thinking · State · Market · Society
The counterfactual: else the solution ships, but ownership dwindles.
Urban · NOTF: Corporations · Councils (official) · RWAs · Societies (formal) · Interest groups (informal)
Rural: Panchayat · Gram Sabha (official) · SHG · FPO · Co-ops (formal) · Youth collectives · Interest groups (informal)
Where people understand how their choices affect their own place and others, and make better tradeoffs. The whole tree grows from it.
Where people understand how their choices affect their own place and others, and make better tradeoffs.
Who holds the place: official · formal · informal. Urban under NOTF (corporations, RWAs, interest groups); Rural (panchayat, SHG/FPO, youth groups).
The four capitals it brings: Financial, Social, Network & Multidimensional-thinking.
Three place-based verticals: Urban, Rural, Wild. Thesis is the principle they and the horizontals adopt.
The concrete domains each vertical works: air, water, soil, seeds, restoration.
The tools & frameworks that turn capital into ownership: border artefacts, FOSS/PDGI, roles & leverage, multidimensional thinking, and the POESI framework (the actor map).
Shared capability the verticals draw on selectively: culture, buildings, tech/knowledge, business/education (e.g. Buildings serves Urban and Rural, not Wild).
The result the system reaches for: more places that thrive.
