Podcast Episode 149: Funding the Commons: A Deep Dive into ReFi, DAOs, and the Future of Regenerative Economics Description: What if our financial systems were designed to heal the planet instead of extracting from it? This isn't a far-off dream; it's the emergent reality of Regenerative Finance (ReFi) and Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs). In this roundtable discussion, host Joshua Prieto and co-host Noam Rifkind are joined by Stefan Fiedler-Alvarado, a leader in the ReFi space and the Director for the Certificate of Regenerative Entrepreneurship at UCI. Together, they dive deep into the mechanics and philosophy of this new financial frontier.
