The Future of Culture
The world we'll live in tomorrow will largely be shaped by the imagination of today’s entrepreneurs. Yet not all of that cultural influence is leading to healthy lives or positive social impact today. The world needs entrepreneurs and builders who follow an alternative script of purpose, success, and human flourishing.
Our Opportunity
Entrepreneurs who are spiritually serious, culturally astute, and in community can be winsome witnesses for the truth, goodness, and beauty of the Christian gospel—through their leadership behavior and in the products, services, brands, and organizations they build.
The Future of the Church
The Church is in an age of crisis. Yet we can be optimistic about our public witness and our ability to engage the next generation in the faith. Both will depend on the praxis—the faith in action—of Christ-followers who are committed to love and serve their neighbors. This includes entrepreneurs and builders of ventures of every size, structure, and sector.

We offer formative programs for founders, funders, and innovators—and support their entrepreneurial work through venture-building expertise, community engagement, aligned capital, and imaginative content.
Founders
Our work often begins with founders and senior teams of early-stage, privately-held businesses and nonprofits. Their unique vision, ambition, and risk tolerance—formed in accountable community—lead to outsized redemptive possibility.
Funders
Investors and philanthropists are involved in Praxis because enterprising funders—through their imagination, discernment, and practices—have a profound influence on what gets built, how it's built, and how founders are formed.
Innovators
Everyone who helps build new ventures or offerings and bring them into the world—whether through startups or established organizations, whether rising or established leaders—needs formation in redemptive mindsets and practices.
praxis is a VENTURE-BUILDING ECOSYSTEM
our model
Our "venture-building ecosystem" integrates several elements:
A global venture Portfolio of redemptive businesses and nonprofits, formed through highly selective, long-term programs
Imaginative content-rich experiences that help entrepreneurs form vision, develop practices, frame issues, and build organizations
A community of redemptive entrepreneurs gathering locally, globally, and virtually to support one another and pursue the redemptive way together
Relational engagement of values-aligned, thesis-driven, entrepreneurial capital into the Portfolio and the world
A nonprofit organization headquartered in NYC, guiding and supporting the community’s energy through all of the above
Our Impact — Ventures

Our Impact — Content
Reach & Engagement
Our long-term vision is to make redemptive entrepreneurship commonplace among Christians; this includes reaching leaders beyond our direct community with formative ideas and content.
