About Us
At 5D, we leverage generosity and altruism as powerful catalysts to support meaningful change around causes we genuinely believe in. Our core activities include incubating purpose-driven start-ups, investing in early-stage private equity of emerging conscious businesses, and making philanthropic donations to impactful social enterprises.
Our first initiative, The Progression of Consciousness Fund, invests in psychedelic and functional medicine ventures integrating Indigenous wisdom, ceremony, and spirituality into Western healing practices. We believe this work holds the potential to deepen humanity’s connection to nature, spirit, and one another — what our planet needs most right now.
Our flagship initiative, The Resilient World Trust, is a land stewardship fund that stewards some of the most bio-resilient and ecologically important land on the planet, located in southern Costa Rica. By focusing on the conservation of critical watersheds and the reforestation of degraded cow pastures, the fund is involved in the measured development of organic farms, conscious communities, and regenerative neighborhoods.
We stand by our commitments. Since 2020, we have deployed over $25.8 million as principal, supporting our portfolio companies in raising more than $180 million in total gross proceeds across the venture philanthropy spectrum.
What Venture Philanthropy Means to Us
We believe venture philanthropy is about investing not just capital, but the full range of our resources — skills, wisdom, relationships, and time — into people and projects with the potential for deep, regenerative impact.
At its core, this work is a partnership. Our goal is to support ventures in becoming self-sustaining, with lasting impact. While financial returns matter, we’re equally driven by returns on energy, purpose, and collective well-being.
Guided by a regenerative lens, we honor the cultural, environmental, and social systems that sustain us. Reciprocity is central — with clear commitments to give back to the communities and traditions that guide our work.
Above all, venture philanthropy is collaborative. We build aligned communities around a shared purpose, recognizing the vital roles of founders, investors, wisdom keepers, and operators. Together, we co-create ventures grounded in care, connection, and conscious growth — aligning resources and relationships toward meaningful, enduring impact.
