Community, Collective, Core

Who are we?

A band of misfits combining our skills, networks, and resources without giving up our individual quirks, values, and styles that made us such unique, talented professionals in the first place.

What do we want to establish?

A culture where every person is empowered to explore their passions and hone their unique strengths. This inspires aligned, purpose-driven collaboration that drives positive societal transformation and sustainable financial success.

How do misfits fit in?

Every misfit is a potential innovator. Yet too often, these creative minds never find the nourishing environment they need to truly flourish.

How do we prevent this waste of talent?

By ensuring that the future of work is play.

Why do we call ourselves Rizom?

Our name comes from 'rhizome'. These are plant stem that grow sideways under the ground. A rhizome not only sprouts its own roots and shoots, but also connects to vast fungal networks that link it to other plants and trees, thereby creating an intricate living ecosystem beneath our feet.

Rhizomes create resilient ecosystems by:

  • Sharing nutrients and resources across the network

  • Surviving and regenerating even when parts are damaged

  • Supporting new growth from any point in the system

  • Adapting quickly to changing environmental conditions

How does this translate into our way of working?

Our organization is organic, decentralized, and based on aligned interests.

We create a resilient ecosystem by:

  • Sharing expertise, resources, and opportunities across our network of professionals

  • Regenerating collective value through fair and transparent compensation models

  • Growing sustainably through curated connections and meaningful collaborations

  • Adapting together by fostering open communication and continuous learning
