About Us
At 5D Ventures, we believe meaningful change happens when philanthropy’s generosity and spirit meet the sustainable impact of entrepreneurship. We are venture philanthropists at the intersection of venture capitalism and philanthropy; supporting purpose-driven start-ups, investing in early-stage conscious businesses, and making philanthropic donations to impactful social enterprises.
Our efforts are united by a unifying mission and prayer: to deepen humanity’s connection to nature, spirit, and each other, and to address the root causes of today’s existential crises.
This mission comes to life through our three main initiatives:
The Progression of Consciousness Fund
Our flagship initiative is a private equity fund dedicated to advancing human consciousness through greater access to, and innovation in, mental health and wellness. We invest in leading immersive retreat centres, functional medicine clinics, social wellness communities, and self-betterment platforms that foster transformative healing. Our approach unites innovation with tradition by advocating for the integration of Indigenous wisdom into the Western psychedelic movement, so that traditional knowledge is honoured alongside evidence-based care.
The Resilient World Trust
This land stewardship initiative is focused on acquiring, regenerating, and responsibly developing some of the world’s most ecologically significant land, beginning in Costa Rica. It integrates ecological restoration with place-based development, including regenerative agriculture, habitat restoration, eco-hospitality, and community-centered design, while partnering with local stewards, Indigenous leaders, and regenerative practitioners to support long-term ecosystem and community resilience. At its core, the mission is to leave the land, water, and communities it engages with healthier and more resilient than they were before.
5D Angel
This initiative represents our ongoing, relational practice of supporting projects that align with our broader mission. Through micro-lending, incubation and acceleration, angel investments, philanthropic donations, educational platforms, film and media production, and community projects, we nurture emerging visions and plant the seeds of reciprocity needed to restore our world to its natural state of abundance.
Since 2020, we have partnered with over 45 mission-aligned projects — investing more than $25.8 million and donating over $2.7 million.
What is Venture Philanthropy?
We believe venture philanthropy is about investing not just capital, but the full breadth of our resources; skills, wisdom, relationships, and time, into people and projects with the potential for deep, regenerative impact.
At its core, venture philanthropy is a partnership. It’s about helping ventures grow into self-sustaining enterprises that create lasting change. While financial returns are valued, we are equally motivated by the return on energy, purpose, and collective well-being.
We approach this work through a regenerative lens, honouring the systems we depend on: environmental, cultural, and social. Reciprocity is fundamental, with formal commitments to give back to the communities and traditions that guide us.
Ultimately, venture philanthropy is a collaborative effort. We build aligned communities around shared purpose, recognizing the unique contributions of founders, champions, investors, wisdom keepers, and skilled operators. Together, we co-create ventures rooted in care, connection, and conscious growth, aligning resources, people, and purpose toward meaningful, lasting impact.
