JumpScale is delighted to share the 2023 Alaska Native Resilience Circles Impact Report. In 2023, JumpScale and Native CDFI Spruce Root launched the first organizational Resilience Circles to support Alaska Native impact companies and NGOs. This report highlights our culturally-informed approach to supporting Native Alaskan entrepreneurs and their ventures.

The Native-led kelp movement in Alaska is taking off and is integral to JumpScale's efforts in Alaska to support the wellbeing of Alaska Native entrepreneurs. Along with NDN Collective and Tamalpais Trust, we recently returned from Cordova, Alaska, where we went on a deep dive into the work of Dune Lankard and the Native Conservancy team to restore Native sovereignty, repair the ecosystem, and build a Native-led regional kelp economy.

Over a dozen collaborators and movement-makers joined JumpScale and Native CDFI Spruce Root in Southeast Alaska on a remarkable learning journey to support Resilience Circles, a wellbeing-centered accelerator for Alaska Native business owners. We learned in community with Alaska Native leaders in hospitality, regenerative forestry, plant medicine, weaving, carving, and more.

Resilience Circles are a breakthrough in the Indigenous-led movement for healing and regenerative economies and seek to scale the impact and health of Alaska Native communities. The JumpScale and Spruce Root teams look forward to sharing Resilience Circles’ impact and exciting program developments in the coming year in a webinar on February 16th.

Watch Senior Advisor Valentina Yaman share her experience in Ecuador and activating the country’s carbon market for the first time. She also discusses how JumpScale works with investors to consider indigenous worldviews, the rights of nature, and their work's personal and ecosystem impacts.

In addition to serving as one of JumpScale’s General Partners, Josh Knauer is a serial tech entrepreneur and Co-Founder of ReSeed: a full-service carbon solution provider that brings carbon credits directly from farmers to the market, which recently raised $4.6 million in seed funding.

In this episode of The ReMembering and ReEnchanting Podcast with host Sara Jolena Wolcott and guest Dr. Alexis Bunten, we start with history, the colonial gaze, and its impact on today's tourism and travel ‘explorations,’ look at the dangers of "Disneylandification," and more.

Knauer has been tapped by the World Economic Forum to help develop guidelines and best practices for the carbon offset sector. “We’re trying to do this right, and one of the biggest potential weaknesses in methodologies such as ours is fraud detection. And so we’ve built in many layers of redundancy around the data,” said Knauer.
