Critical digital infrastructure for collective impact.
“Nearly every problem has been solved by someone, somewhere. The challenge of the 21st century is to find out what works and scale it up.”
— President Bill Clinton
There’s no shortage of organisations doing good, ideas for how to do it better, or money being spent to address environmental, social, and economic injustice.
SO WHY DO WE STILL STRUGGLE TO SOLVE THE GREATEST CHALLENGES OF OUR TIME?
Data is extracted and trapped in silos, knowledge is immobile and atrophied, capital is bound up and illiquid, and those most consistently engaged with these problems are increasingly frustrated with our collective lack of progress.
OUR INFRASTRUCTURE IS NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE
The tools we use, the data we collect, and the solutions we discover are assets that can and should be leveraged to achieve even greater impact. What we need is a better way to collaborate, cooperate and coordinate across initiatives and organisations; we need deep, community-owned-and-governed, interconnected plumbing to make value flow.
An app ecosystem for impact
Armillaria works with partners and communities across the globe to more effectively address complex environmental, social, and economic challenges using contemporary innovations in technology, finance, and law.
Together, we design, develop, and deploy critical digital infrastructure for addressing global goals.
If you’re using or building tech-for-good, and want to explore opportunities to collectively scale impact, let’s talk.

Catalysing innovation by connecting projects and organisations with opportunities that enhance and scale their impact
Key Themes
We believe that people, knowledge, and capital must be mobilised at unprecedented speed and scale if human societies are to become more humane, just, and caring, and align with the living systems that support us. As such, we focus on how digital infrastructure can be used to achieve the following objectives:
Participatory Governance
Increase collaboration, cooperation, and coordination within and between communities and organisations
Every organisation has a community of partners, stakeholders, and customers, yet forging meaningful connections between them is frequently left to chance. We work alongside those communities so that they are best able to become mutually supportive, and provide lasting value to all their participants.
Innovation Liquidity
Increase the discovery, sharing, and reuse of innovative solutions to humanity’s challenges.
Innovation is so much more than information or data - it is about what we do with what we know. Every organisation is a repository of knowledge trapped within legacy systems. We redesign how knowledge flows in, out, and through your initiative or organisation in order that it can generate the greatest value.
Impact Finance
Increase the volume and velocity of capital deployed into underestimated communities.
Enormous amounts of time, money and energy go into building a portfolio of investments, a pool of grantees, or infrastructure to support them. How much more could you do with what you already have? We help unlock the latent potential of your assets and unleash them to radically enhance your impact.
Development Partners
Our relationships are grounded in shared values and purpose, and are typically long-term, strategic and operational. These organisations are the latest to help define and fund our work.
