It started with a simple question:
How can I learn more so I can invest better?
How can I learn more so I can invest better?
Beyond the Deck grew from that curiosity — to go beyond pitch decks and step into the real work already happening on the ground, learning alongside the people doing it.
By understanding the opportunities and challenges these companies and models actually face, we can deploy our capital, time, and energy toward solutions that fit the context and create meaningful change.

Themes
Learning by Themes
We organize learning journeys around the questions that matter most — from rewilding forests to rethinking food systems. Each theme connects you to places where people are already doing the work: restoring ecosystems, building regenerative businesses, and navigating the messy realities of climate, livelihoods, and change. Start with what you're curious about. We'll show you where it's happening.

Learning on the ground
We spend time with the people, places, and systems capital touches — farms, founders, communities, and operators — because being there reveals context that no report or pitch deck can.

From an investors perspective
Conversations focus on incentives, constraints, trade-offs, and local realities to help impact investors understand how value chains actually function beyond the narrative.

Small group learning
Learning happens in small groups. We spend time with what we’re seeing on the ground, and we make sense of it together, drawing on each other’s experience, questions, and judgement.

Diving into themes
Trips are organised around a small number of themes. We spend time with several organisations working on the same challenge, seeing different approaches and constraints side by side, and learning as patterns emerge.

Your Questions, Answered
Who is this for?
This is for people exploring impact solutions for the future from a systems level. Whether you're an investor, funder, philanthropist, or founder, if you want to understand how regeneration and innovation actually work, in real ecosystems and communities, this platform is built for you. We're for people who believe that deeper learning leads to better decisions.
Do I need to commit to investing in anything?
No. There's no expectation or pressure to invest, fund, or commit to anything. The point is learning, not deal-making. If opportunities emerge organically, that's up to you to pursue independently.
Are trips confirmed or exploratory?
It depends on the theme and region. Some trips are confirmed with locked-in dates, hosts, and itineraries. Others are early explorations where we're still gathering interest and refining the shape of the journey. We're always honest about where things stand.
How do I sign up for a trip?
Right now, we're gathering expressions of interest by theme. You can register your interest through the website, and we'll keep you updated as trips take shape. Some themes have confirmed dates; others are still forming.
Can I suggest a theme, place, or host?
Yes. We're building this platform with input from the community. If you know of practitioners, projects, or themes worth exploring, we'd love to hear from you. We're also very open to collaboration—if you're interested in co-hosting a trip or helping shape a learning journey in your region or area of practice, get in touch.
