The Collective

Post Growth Entrepreneurship = Economic and Social Transformation

Meet the Collective Members!

Every collective member has been deeply engaged in advancing post growth principles based entrepreneurship, ecosystem development and social change for at least a decade. We have 200+ years of lived experience between us. We have taken different paths towards the top of the same mountain which means we have very diverse perspectives and viewpoints that underpin our work. We have worked together and collaborated on a number of entrepreneurship ecosystem and  support transformation projects over the years.

As a collective, everyone here is an independent practitioner. This is a non-hierarchical, distributed benefit not-for-profit enterprise.

The collective was founded by pk mutch in 2014.

Membership in this collective is by invitation only. If you are interested, please let us know by contacting us.
