REDEMPTIVE IS

Redemptive entrepreneurship is love in action through ventures: making new ways to put things right, for others first.

We use the Redemptive Frame to design, build, lead, and fund entrepreneurial organizations for greater redemptive impact.

Grace Nicolette
Through Praxis, I’ve met the most thoughtful, humble, and smart people who are changing the world every day. They challenge me greatly with their example of quietly seeking God’s purposes first, giving sacrificially to their communities, and flipping the script on how success is defined. Praxis is special because of its people and our shared values, and it’s a huge source of encouragement to me in my own faith journey and work.
