Millions of people are beginning to wake up to the reality that we need to reimagine our civilization system in order for our species and our planet to thrive together...
And as a result, sustainable and regenerative community land projects ranging in size from just a couple families with a garden all the way up to eco cities are beginning to sprout up all around the world.
We share the same dream. For 5 years we have been preparing our network and expertise to develop a large regenerative community in Costa Rica.
It's been a long journey, but as we mastered the art and science of the fundraise presentation, we now have investors flocking to us.
To show you what we mean, here's our pre-approval letter for $26,000,000 to purchase and develop our dream project (with the lender's name blacked out to keep our lawyers happy)
As we move forward with our own project called Abundancia, it was important to us to also create this Regenerative Development Foundations Program which includes all of the knowledge and templates you need to accelerate towards the financing of your own development project - whatever stage of the journey you're in.
You may already be considering one of the following 3 main ways to fund your regenerative community, town or city project:
If you already have enough cash saved up to buy land, build infrastructure, sub-divide, market and sell lots, then this could be an option for you.
If you already have enough cash saved up to buy land, build infrastructure, sub-divide, market and sell lots, then this could be an option for you.
If you already have enough cash saved up to buy land, build infrastructure, sub-divide, market and sell lots, then this could be an option for you.
If you already have enough cash saved up to buy land, build infrastructure, sub-divide, market and sell lots, then this could be an option for you.
If you have a strong existing network who trusts you enough to put $20k-$100k deposits down so you can then build infrastructure, this may be an option.
In most cases, real estate development projects will bring in outside capital to get basic infrastructure and amenities in place to sell lots and homes.
You likely have business experience already, but if you’re like many community founders there’s so much knowledge out there that you don’t know that you don’t know which is required to avoid project-killing cashflow shortages and other mistakes.
Because your investors will have a vested financial interest in seeing your project succeed, your team having a depth of financial and execution planning certainty will empower you to speak more confidently and put your investors' minds at ease.
But if you don’t have clarity about all of these components, you won't be able to make a detailed financial model to serve as the foundation of your funding strategy to ensure that the capital is all spent wisely.
Once you're clear on your vision, a solid development financial model makes all the difference in making sure you’re not wasting your time analyzing the wrong piece of land...
Or worse, you go through on a land purchase that it turns out you can't profitably develop while maintaining your regenerative values. So you are faced with either sacrificing your values, or your financial security.
If you’re self-funding the project, maybe you’ve already experienced the sinking realization that you’re going to have to completely revise the master plan you spent so much time and money on because you didn’t plan the financials properly to understand how many lots and homes and rentals you would need to remain cash flow positive throughout the project.
Or maybe you’ve decided to try and fund your project by pre-selling lots and homes, only to find that would-be lot buyers won’t buy until you first invest into infrastructure for them to see that more is happening on the project.
Or maybe you already know that you need to raise investment, and are spending dozens of hours talking with lawyers, watching videos and reading articles about the process as you try to build a financial model from scratch.
For projects of all sizes around the world, we see founding teams not knowing how to turn their vision into a clear financial model and execution plan ready to handle the necessary scale of operations as the biggest reason their project never comes to life.
It's heartbreaking, because the world needs these regenerative communities now more than ever!
For our first project called Abundancia in Costa Rica, we had about a dozen conversations with lawyers both in the US and Costa Rica, trying desperately to understand the investment raise process.
We spent countless hours on YouTube and reading articles trying to figure it out, but we were determined to learn our way through no matter what it took…
Even as our savings slowly ran out.
We learned from multiple different experts across many disciplines who were experienced in investing in projects with their own money, and raising funding for ecovillage projects as well as lawyers in the US, Cayman Islands and Costa Rica to find out the best strategies to fund a regenerative development project.
We learned the documents we needed to prepare, the mindset we needed to talk with investors, the entity planning process, and more.
We assembled our financial model, pitch deck, business plan and website into a single cohesive, beautiful presentation. We even rode on horses for 7 hours touring every part of the 1400 acre piece of land.
We took those materials to market, inspired investors to back our cause, and put a $2.3 million offer on the piece of land in Costa Rica we had been dreaming of…
... And then the seller took a different offer.
To say we were disappointed would be a huge understatement.
However, because we had all of our materials so organized and our plan so clear with financial models built, friends began referring us to other land partners.
Within 2 months, we had created a land partnership on 400 acres in southwestern Nicaragua on the beach, where we are now well underway capitalizing the development of 400 homes with new-paradigm amenities and world class Innovation and Healing Centers.
Mastering the process of turning a vision for a project into investor-friendly presentation materials for any project has transformed everything for us.
Now, because we are so prepared for the investment conversation, we have found ourselves with so many interested investors that we are primarily interviewing investors for their alignment to our mission whereas before we felt lucky just to have a second conversation with one of them.
Because of the depth of our experience with the funding preparation process, we’ve now developed relationships with several wealth managers who manage family offices from $1B to $400B in assets under management, allowing our creativity to run wild with the scale of projects we take on.
Throughout the journey, we started helping other community founders with their investment preparation process
Brady Hedlund
Founder of Land Project in Western Mexico
"I studied business in college but Joe managed to make the business planning module light and playful and engaging for business management content that otherwise I thought I might have fallen asleep in class for. This container is working magic in amazing ways - as opportunities have arisen all around our land. This container has really helped to accelerate our clarity and progress of our project, we are so grateful 🙏"
Skaia Koyich
Founder of Land Project in BC, Canada
"This is sooooo helpful lol. The first attorney we spoke with was going to charge us $30-40k for the templates provided in this program… But these templates that you guys used for your Abundancia project are pretty darn close to what our Avalon project will be so it’s saving us a ton in legal and accounting costs. This is literally saving us so much time from having to build out all the docs, contracts, proformas etc from scratch. Thank you!!!"
Davison Kirchmyer
Eco-Hotel Founder in Austin, Texas
"I am so grateful the great spirit lead us together & I can be a part of your dedication on our dream to create more places & healing eco resorts with community’s who are ready to claim back Mother Earth 🌍. Wow… I have goosebumps. Thank you so much for creating this program 🙏"
Matthias Walter
Founder of Land Project in San Juan Del Sur, Nicaragua
“Working with Kelly and Joe is not only very inspiring because they are a luminous couple, but also because they compliment each other amazingly, in what most of the "Regenerative" Projects might normally need, Financial and Marketing Services. I would 100% recommend working with them both additional to all the incredible alliances and opportunities that you might also get through them."
Felipe Leall
Founder of Gaia Tierras Vivas, Colombia
“I have worked with many business and financial people, but no one that has the expertise of actual regenerative development and experience with the land projects like you guys do. It helps to have other expertise like this in this new emerging field! Thank you so much for what you are doing and for putting together and providing this resource!”
Miranda Clendening
Boulder, CO
"It is so good to have this general overview and structure so I can project manage my vision. Now everyone in my network is lighting up because now I have a funding strategy and my vision is becoming very real."
Eileen Hall
Founder of Land Project in BC, Canada
"Having not done this process ourselves before, it took a long time to figure out everything. We have friends that do this work, but then we saw your spreadsheet and started watching the videos, it blew our minds. My husband used to do engineering work so we felt we could follow spreadsheets well. As we started putting our own vision into spreadsheet, it gave us a ton of ideas that I hadn’t thought about to bring into our own system. I see a LOT of value in this model. I just took a different approach in the investment structure and how we sell the shares, but I'm excited to continue to combine our approaches."
Founders of Land Project in Guatemala
Monica and Silvere Carr
After manually designing financial models and development plans for multiple development projects...
We realized our time could only scale so far.
So we challenged our team to figure out how to systematize the process so we could solve the investment raise challenge for the entire regenerative movement at once.
The result was a Master Development Financial Model which auto-generates complete investment and financial projections based on a simple list of inputs.
As soon as it was created, we got to work filming the videos of how to use it, alongside the investment presentations, business planning, and funding strategies.
The result is the Regenerative Development Funding Foundations Program.
... So that anyone who shared the vision for creating regenerative communities, and was willing to put in the time to learn and work at it, could have all of the tools and knowledge they need to succeed.
Which was when we decided to package our entire knowledge about the regenerative community investment raise process into a single program to massively accelerating you to getting your project funded and built.
Because your dream community is far too important for the betterment of humanity for you to reinvent the wheel to create it by spending years of your life and tens of thousands of dollars to figure it out (like we did).
So this program strips away all of that uncertainty to teach you how to fund your regenerative community development project ASAP, in alignment with your true vision and dream.
Learn the foundations necessary to successfully present your regenerative community development project to investors to get it funded and bring your vision to life.

Finding and distilling all of the regenerative community-specific wisdom yourself
Our team has traveled the world visiting over 60 intentional communities and networking with the top minds in the regenerative movement to learn these core principles of regenerative community funding that are brought to you in this program. Most of them are too busy building to put any of their knowledge on YouTube, so the only way to learn was for us to go to them.
Manually learning the entire process yourself by getting out and doing it
We aren't just teaching this stuff - we're actively doing it. And to arrive at this place has taken years of interviewing dozens of lawyers, architects, builders, and investment funds across many countries to define the real estate investment process specific to regenerative communities which we bring to you in this program.
Designing out your own pro forma, pitch deck and business plan templates
1,000 hours
It's important to have a financial model (pro forma), pitch deck, and business plan to be able to have a comprehensive presentation for raising funding.

You don't have to do it alone, and you don't have to figure it all out yourself.
We got you.
As long as you are building a sustainable or regenerative community, whether that be just a few structures or all the way up to a city, this program will help you lay the foundations to fund that project through either your own self-funding, outside investment, or pre-selling lots.
It’s true, many economic indicators show that we may be heading into recession. However, it’s important to understand that in times of economic uncertainty, the market tends to reallocate capital towards real goods - such as food, water, infrastructure and real estate. If you were trying to raise money for a crypto startup, I’d say now is not a very good time. But real estate is a very sound business model which investors are already wanting to invest into because it secures their portfolio amidst an uncertain tim
Framing the financials of a project is the very first step we take with every project, and it's the first step we recommend you take too. If you have just a vision for what you want to build with land in mind, this program will help you immensely prepare for land acquisition. If you already own the land, this program will help you prepare your investment offering to develop your land.
Yes. Depending on the size of your project, this skillset may carry the role of CFO, Director of Finance, Finance Manager, Financial Analyst, etc. But you're going to need a professional to own the financial stewardship of the project ongoing. If you already have that person on your team, this program will help them understand the uniqueness of the regenerative community model. If you do not yet have that person on your team, this program will help you understand enough about their role to be able to hire them effectively.
As a first step, inside of the program you'll see links to book a Development Strategy Intensive with a member of our team. For projects that are the right fit, New Earth Development provides development services throughout the Project Planning, Project Funding, and Development Execution phases.
This is a potential approach if you either: 1) Have an existing network of buyers who are willing to pre-purchase their lots, OR 2) You're developing in one of the hottest markets in the world so demand is so high that you'll sell your houses as soon as you list them. But either way, you'll need the financial planning foundations taught in this program to make sure that you are ready to operate your business successfully to manage customer expectations and avoid refunds or disappointments.
To help you feel even more confident in your purchase, you can sign up today, take all the lessons and apply all the training, and if you don’t love it you can ask for your money back any time in 30 days. That’s how much we believe that this program will truly help your project accelerate through the planning stage into capitalization and building.
Send your questions in an email to info@newearthdevelopment.org and a member of our team will answer your questions to help you best understand how this program can help you achieve your specific land project vision.
