Capital Stewardship Commons

Capital guidance for Planetir members.

Helping purpose-driven projects find the right resources while staying aligned with their mission.

We understand Planetir

We already know the kind of work you do.

The desk was built for the initiatives inside this community, so a conversation starts with context instead of a form.

How it works

Five steps from first message to strategy.

You can stop at any step. Nothing is submitted anywhere without you deciding to.

STEP 02Connect your Second Brain if available.Optional.
STEP 03The Stewardship Agent analyzes your situation.
STEP 04Review together with a human steward if needed.
STEP 05Receive a tailored capital strategy.

Connected to your Second Brain

Explain your project once.

Instead of uploading documents every time, the desk can understand what your organization already knows.

Human plus AI

The agent prepares. People decide.

The division of work is deliberate, and it does not move. Anything that requires judgment stays with a steward.

Meet the stewards

Who you are actually talking to.

Three kinds of support sit behind the desk. You can ask for any of them by name.

Human stewards

Responsible for recommendations, difficult decisions, and the relationships behind them.

Community experts

Planetir members who have been through the same funding routes and share what they learned.

The Stewardship Agent

Prepares the research, drafts and checklists so the human time goes to the decisions.
