Build stronger companies — together.
Betterworld helps companies and investors build ecosystem holdings: clusters of interconnected companies aligned through shared ownership, coordinated operating systems, and capital designed for resilience. The result is measurable bottom-line growth that is coherent with the wellbeing of people and planet.
How Betterworld Creates New Value
Companies are not standalone entities — they are interconnected parts of larger ecosystems. When we design and steward the connections (flows of materials, capital, data, capabilities, and incentives), we unlock new value across the chain: higher margins, lower risk, and stronger resilience.
1) Map the system
We identify leverage points across the value chain: where cost, risk, waste, and coordination failures are leaking value.
2) Build the holding
We help form an ecosystem holding (cluster) that aligns participating companies through clear stewardship, reporting, and shared priorities.
3) Integrate operations
Shared services and coordinated execution improve procurement, finance, compliance, talent, and time-to-market across the cluster.
4) Orchestrate capital
Capital is deployed where it increases system performance — strengthening cashflows while reducing exposure to shocks.
5) Compound outcomes
The cluster grows EBITDA and earns higher multiples because it becomes more investable: well-structured, diversified, and resilient.
6) Scale responsibly
Regenerative practices are not “extra” — they are performance drivers when embedded in system design: efficiency, trust, and stability.
What Betterworld Is
Betterworld Ecosystem Studio (BWES) supports multi-company ecosystem holdings — clusters of complementary companies that coordinate strategy, operations, and capital to grow profitability while strengthening people-and-planet outcomes.
For Companies
We support participating companies to increase their bottom line through integration leverage — shared services, better procurement, coordinated go-to-market, de-risked supply, and operating discipline. This is growth that keeps coherence: culture, decision-making, and long-term resilience don’t get sacrificed for speed.
We are not:
For Investors
- Diversified cashflows across a coordinated cluster (lower concentration risk)
- Institutional stewardship + reporting (more investable, higher-quality multiple)
- EBITDA uplift via integration (not just financial engineering)
- Risk reduction via resilient supply, reserves, and shared capabilities
- Impact that is a performance driver — efficiency, trust, stability
Our premise
Superior returns and positive impact are compatible — when business is designed systemically.
The Systemic Shift
We move from “company-by-company optimization” to ecosystem performance: aligning incentives, integrating operations, and investing where the whole chain improves — margins rise and risk falls.
The Problem
Why existing models underperform:
- SMEs operate in silos → low margins, high risk, limited scale.
- Development & impact programs create value but don’t capture it → not investable.
- Traditional PE extracts value firm-by-firm → no system resilience.
- Result: Value leakage across the system (lost productivity, lower margins).
The BWES Solution
Integrated ecosystem building:
- Companies coordinate as a value-chain cluster (shared services + shared priorities).
- Resilience replaces extraction: long-term performance beats short-term optimization.
- SMEs become bankable through stewardship, reporting, and operational discipline.
- Enterprise value grows via EBITDA uplift and multiple uplift — plus risk reduction.
- Collective liquidity pathways (holdco-level exits, strategic options, ecosystem IPO).
Value Creation Mechanics
We don’t monetize attention. We capture measurable value by improving system performance across the ecosystem — translating operational coherence into stronger cashflows and investability.
The Enterprise Value Formula
Betterworld increases enterprise value by lifting EBITDA through integration, raising multiples through stewardship and resilience, and reducing risk through diversification and system-level shock absorption.
EBITDA Uplift
Driven by shared services (finance, procurement, legal), value-chain integration (capturing upstream/downstream margins), and capability uplift across the cluster.
Multiple Uplift
Achieved through institutional stewardship & reporting, diversified cashflows across the ecosystem, and reduced key-person and single-supplier risk.
Risk Reduction
Ensured by diversification within the cluster, shared reserves for internal shock absorption, and stronger operational + policy alignment.
