WELCOME TO PATHFINDERS!
BUILDING A BETTER FUTURE TOGETHER
We envision a world where changemakers from many sectors are celebrated and supported to create positive change for society and the planet.
To achieve this, we bring together values-aligned mentors, investors, coaches, sponsors, and peers to create a diverse and talented community. We add relevant business and data tools to provide clear insights and strategies to achieve our individual and collective missions.
WHY COMMUNITY MATTERS
To me, a strong community of people with values aligned with yours provides that safety net for action without all the details being clear. In the world of social impact, an aligned and collaborative community also allows individual actions to become broader movements. We're excited to be part of building such a community. Andrew Moss, CEO
WHY SHOULD YOUR VOICE BE HEARD?
Pathfinders shares the stories of people inside and outside organizations working for a better future, and helps them find ways to amplify their work. The Pathfinders community provides these everyday heroes with a pathway of support to further their careers or business efforts, and help others to do the same.
WHY A GLOBAL 'FOR GOOD' COMMUNITY?
"I believed that ‘for good’ meant rolling up my sleeves to create real, lasting change, with purpose, with heart, and with others. Since starting Pathfinders, I've met people from around the world who share these values. I'm inspired by the smiling faces of people doing good work every day, often without recognition. Pathfinders is ethical, inclusive, and about leaving the world better than we found it—together."
Jeff Lamb, Pathfinders Founder
WHO WE SERVE
We support four distinct types of changemakers, each travelling their own pathway toward meaningful impact:
-
Social Entrepreneurs – Innovators creating sustainable businesses that solve social and environmental challenges.
-
Public Servants – Dedicated professionals transforming communities through responsive governance and inclusive services.
-
Corporate Innovators – Change agents driving purpose-aligned practices within established organizations.
-
Independent Changemakers – Individuals catalyzing grassroots movements and community-based solutions.
On each pathway, we meet people at different stages of impact—from those with the spark of an idea to those nearing the end of their journey or transitioning to their next chapter, and everywhere in between.
WHAT DOES PATHFINDERS MEAN TO A SLOTH?
"To me, Pathfinders is about slowing down to do what really matters. It’s about choosing purpose over pressure, people over profit, and progress that lasts. I see it in the quiet moments—smiling faces, helping hands, stories told with heart. With Pathfinders, we're building something bigger than ourselves, one thoughtful step at a time." Samson the Sloth, Brand Ambassador
SOLVING REAL CHALLENGES -- THE PATHFINDERS WAY
Pathfinders addresses critical system failures that prevent meaningful change from spreading:
-
Visibility Failure: Transformative "root cause" solutions remain invisible while "symptom solution" approaches receive disproportionate attention and resources. Through authentic impact storytelling, we elevate the personal journeys of Pathfinders and provide tools so they can share their work's impact effectively.
-
Support Fragmentation: Changemakers face a disconnected support ecosystem with critical gaps between visibility, funding, skill development, and community. We create cohesive pathways from inspiration to legacy impact, delivered on a timeline that suits each Pathfinder.
-
Short-termism: Current structures prioritize quick wins over patient capital and sustained support. We create in-house revenue generation opportunities and build support networks to carry Pathfinders through the inevitable gaps between inspiration, early action, and sustained impact.
