Our Movement
Our vision
Our vision is for a world where people and teams are empowered to address the suffering of human beings through the integrity of the individual.
Addressing the suffering of human beings through the integrity of the individual
People who ongoingly polish who and how they are being, and attend to their integrity, make decisions and take actions that reduce corruption and unnecessary suffering. Rather than office politics and facades, we're building a future world where seeing a lack of desired results is an impetus for people looking authentically at who they are being.
However, when the shadow side of ourselves – the unpolished parts of ourselves, such as our inauthenticies, lack of responsibilities and so on – take control of our decisions and behaviours, it leads to suffering for ourselves and causes suffering for others. The troubled parts of how we are being are the roots of dysfunction in the world. At Engenesis, we leverage the vehicle of business as a springboard to bring about transformation in the world.
A 500 year vision for entrepreneurship
We believe that entrepreneurship is uniquely positioned to make a difference in the world. Whilst religion, academia and politics play major roles, we chose entrepreneurship as our vehicle to move humanity forward. Not only can it resolve, at scale, many of the miseries faced by human beings, but it also can be used as a way to express our unique contribution to the world and be a source of deep fulfilment.
We also believe that the way we relate to, understand and practice entrepreneurship has not been fully realised. The current rate of failure in entrepreneurship is unacceptable. Our vision is to bring greater structure and systems to the entrepreneurial process to enable more entrepreneurs to effectively turn their ideas and inspirations into successful ventures that serve meaningful outcomes.
Five hundred years ago, surgeons had minimal success rates in addressing their patients' illnesses. They would cut open their bodies, but lacked the knowledge to make a difference. Today, we can take a 20 year old medical student and train them to slice open the human body and address the underlying issues with 90%+ effectiveness. We believe we are at the early stage of entrepreneurship and that we can raise this level of effectiveness, one generation at a time, by laying the right foundations.
Our Story
Over several years our team scaled the world to find ventures to invest in, partner with and grow. After sitting with thousands of entrepreneurs and founding teams, a key pattern became remarkably clear. Investment capital, venture strategy and technological capability, while being the common focal point for most, left a key factor out of the equation - human capital.
You can invest millions of dollars into great ideas and business plans. However, if the leaders give up along the way, the entire investment can be lost. This highlights how important the ‘people’ conversation is for business, even though it is rarely spoken about within a startup venture context and is an incomplete conversation in established organisations.
We became obsessed with how leaders and entrepreneurs use their human capital to produce results and value in the world. This has evolved into our ecosystem of professional services, programs, products and online platform that supports the transformation of leaders, coaches, consultants and entrepreneurs globally.
