3-SPACE @ Rothschild & Co

· · Leave a Comment

Spent most of today at Rothschild & Co in St Swithin’s Lane, as part of the first edition of their 3-SPACE initiative exploring how to fund and scale social, environmental and sustainability ventures. Held in their Sky Pavilion and orchestrated by Richard Brass. One of the most extraordinary serendipity engines I have yet encountered, with a huge number of refreshed older connections and totally new ones in the space of some eight hours. Amazing process.

Perhaps a third of the panoramic view from the Sky Pavilion: stunning

Another long-standing mate, as he would style it: Liam Black. “It’s a sign,” he says.

Intriguing word cloud from one session, given that system change was Volans’ founding purpose
