ASSARÉE QUEST

WE AIM TO CULTIVATE AND INSPIRE A MINDSET THAT RECOGNIZES THE INTERCONNECTEDNESS OF ALL SYSTEMS AND ACTS TO BUILD BALANCE, RESILIENCE, AND RENEWED VITALITY IN THE WORLD.
PURPOSE-DRIVEN CAPITAL

Assarée began in 2019 with a question:

 

Why aren’t more next-generation wealth holders directing their capital in ways that reflect their values and beliefs?

We realized it’s not only about access and financial literacy, but more deeply about trust, alignment, and understanding institutional structures, systems, incentives, and narrow views of risk, return, and impact.

Along the way, we explored multiple avenues – always learning, unlearning, and adapting with fluidity. This is a privilege, and now a conscious choice.

Along the way, we explored multiple avenues –  after all, you have to start somewhere! – always learning, unlearning, and adapting with fluidity. This is a privilege, and now a conscious choice.

It’s about shifting dominant narratives and reimagining a system where today’s limitations can – and must – be disrupted, from our minds to our actions.

“The most important thing in our world today is attention. Attention is our most valuable resource.”

– Maren Urner

 

Ultimately, what we focus on shapes our reality, our mindset, and the trajectory of our lives.

Nathalie explores and supports cultural, ecological, and relational transformation – often outside conventional structures – redefining value and appreciating holistic returns.

“Assarée has become a way of life. It’s a vehicle for positive impact, connecting people and capital more relationally. By focusing on my levers for change, I’ve created space for clarity and creativity. Realizing this feels like a gift.”

WHAT STEWARDING CAPITAL MEANS TO US

It’s not a product or an agenda – it’s a practice: a way of relating to capital with discernment, intelligence, and intuition.

WE BELIEVE:

  • Cultivating a regenerative mindset– striving to recognize life’s interconnectedness and to engage with both investors and investees with authenticity.
  • Philanthropy isn’t an afterthought – it is essential for nurturing early ideas and providing patient capital to entrepreneurs serving low-income markets that traditional ROI would overlook.
  • Blended finance is the future – combining diverse forms of capital to maximize impact across public and private sectors. Capital becomes truly purposeful and catalytic when it unlocks multiple avenues at once, fueling a self-sustaining, values-led cycle that aligns risk, return, and impact without compromise.
HOW WE MOVE

Guided by the first principle of permaculture – “observe and interact”.

WHAT WE DO:
building a community of wealth holders and changemakers exploring how to move capital in ways that are coherent, creative, and courageous.

THERE IS NO SINGLE WAY TO PARTICIPATE, AND NO SINGULAR PATH

Some are drawn to invest in what’s possible.
Others feel called to give where new systems are taking root.
Many are still listening, sensing, unlearning.

Assarée is not here to prescribe a path – yet to hold a trustful space for those asking similar questions, seeking for inspiration and exchange to take meaningful decisions. To share what we’re discovering, non-linearly, as it unfolds. To notice how discovery weaves into personal life – where “work” and “private life” are no longer separate, but part of the same alive, integrated expression.

If this resonates, you are already part of the conversation.

BECAUSE YOU ARE WHAT YOU INVEST IN!
