With Life Cultivator launches to grow organizations through a people-centered approach

With Life Cultivator, the world's first business incubator inspired by the natural world and living systems, has announced its launch.

Whereas traditional growth programs treat organizations as machines, offering quick-fix solutions that emphasise rapid growth and short-term metrics, this innovative initiative prioritizes healthy growth. The program aims to nurture organizations in a more sustainable way, fostering long-term success by echoing living system designs.

The With Life Cultivator is set to transform the startup landscape, which is currently beholden to traditional business models that often emphasize rapid acceleration, leading to burnout and a 90% failure rates. The Cultivator provides the antidote to acceleration and extractive growth by looking to living systems as a model for organizations, because ecosystems demonstrate resilience, adaptation and emergent outcomes.

The With Life Cultivator is offered in partnership by nRhythm, Zebra Growth and Capital Institute: Three organizations leading the movement for regenerative organizational development, financing and growth. The six-month online program is tailored to support late-stage startups and established organizations going through significant growth and change that are committed to creating a regenerative future and addressing the environmental, social, cultural and existential polycrisis* of our time.

The program includes access to proven operational frameworks and tools, peer-to-peer learning opportunities, and 1:1 mentorship from over 10 experienced operators. The Cultivator's goal is to cultivate the next generation of organizations dedicated to a regenerative economy, effectively addressing the polycrisis we face today.

John Fullerton, President and Founder, Capital Institute: "In light of the polycrisis, what the world desperately needs now is an economy in service to life. We must cultivate regenerative organizations that support our socio-economic system and reimagine the financing and models for how enterprises grow."

Only 1 in 4 employees feel their organization cares for their well-being, and at least 3 in 4 employees experience workplace burnout at least sometimes, according to global analytics and advisory firm, Gallup.

Tre' Cates, Co-founder, nRhythm: "By addressing the root problems of extractive growth and mechanistic design, the Cultivator ensures organizations are not just surviving but thriving in the long term. We are inviting organizations worldwide to join us and learn how to cultivate growth and create the conditions for long-term organizational health and resilience."

With Life Cultivator is now accepting applications globally until August 23, 2024, with a start date of September 9^th, 2024. It is a 6-month online program. Become part of the thriving community, which already has over 20,000 members. Costing $20,000 for up to five colleagues to attend.

Moh Al-Haifi, Co-founder, Zebra Growth: "If you're looking to grow, this program will demonstrate how cultivating is more powerful than accelerating. How living system designs are leading the startup transformation and shaping an emerging future. Also, how this new approach to growing startups has the potential to replace traditional capitalistic unicorn models."
