ReFi New York City launches atTransformative Wealth & Impact Summit.
The August soft-launch was our full-house prelude. The official ReFi New York City launch will take place during Climate Week and UNGA NYC, anchored by two converging gatherings for family offices, impact investors, and change-makers.
Join us to strengthen conscious communities — weaving healing circles, decentralization, and censorship-resistant systems across neighborhoods.
Soft-launch Full House Success · August 20, 2026
Our soft-launch full house success was apowerful step toward a regenerative future.
We convened executives, VCs and angel investors — including members of Princeton Venture Studio and the Harvard Business School Alumni Angels of Greater New York.
Our partner and cohost David Chen presented his Meta Greenville project along with an extraordinary collection of digital trees — a regenerative project tapping into mindfulness and conscious communities, allowing holders access to a real estate development.
A special shout-out to Peter Thurlow and the entire Polsinelli team for welcoming us and helping make this milestone possible. ReFi New York City is officially taking root — and this is only the beginning.

Our emblem
The ethereum Sunflower — open, regenerative, in bloom.
Manifesto
We believe the next economy is grown, not built — tended by neighbors, breathed by trees, woven through children's laughter and the gold of summer sunflowers.
ethereum Sunflower Garden
A garden of regenerativeprotocols in bloom.
Our emblem weaves the ethereum diamond into the heart of a sunflower — open, public infrastructure rooted in soil, sun, and shared stewardship. Every petal a community. Every seed a public good.
Core Values
The roots of Regenerative Finance.
ReFi grows from a small set of shared principles — the soil our community tends together.
- Regeneration
- Leaving people, places, and ecosystems healthier than we found them.
- Decentralization
- Open networks and shared power — no single point of control, on or off chain.
- Community
- Neighbors, families, and builders stewarding public goods together.
- Transparency
- Open ledgers, open processes, open invitations to participate.
- Bioregionalism
- Rooted in the lands, watersheds, and cultures that hold us.
