About the Gathering
For over a decade, Praxis has built a community of practice around the ideas and execution of redemptive entrepreneurship. In this next season, we are eager to convene with leaders in key global regions to strategize around our animating question, "What will the creative action of Christians be in our time?"
Attendees will engage in a highly interactive event, including main stage sessions, table discussions, and intentional conversations, all aimed at inspiring redemptive imagination and action throughout Europe.
We believe addressing the major issues of our time is not about the heroic solo founder who builds the next unicorn. Rather, it requires a venture-building ecosystem with a redemptive imagination—cross-functional networks of high-capacity builders with shared values.
We look for humble and ambitious Christians who are entrepreneurial and on the leading edge of innovation:
Founders of businesses and nonprofits addressing major problems with innovative solutions.
Funders who are investors, philanthropists, or both—with a vision to back redemptive ideas.
Thinkers who bring deep theological and cultural insights into building the future.
Next-Gen leaders in the first decade of their careers building the foundation to go big.
Ecosystem Builders whose calling is to support and enable venture builders; highly relational catalysts who devote their time cultivating the ecosystem.
This event is a regional invitation-only forum for leading founders, investors, philanthropists, builders, and innovative thinkers who are motivated by their faith to address the major issues of our time through redemptive venture building. We welcome your interest or nominations of outstanding candidates below.
