The Collaborative is an award-winning consulting firm with a national reputation for excellence in planning, design, and communications. We began in 1990 as an outgrowth of Wallace Floyd Associates, a firm founded with Buckminster Fuller to design and build such signature projects as Epcot Center and the United States Pavilion at Expo 67. We work on projects that build strong communities and organizations, shape extraordinary places and designs, and inspire new ways of thinking and action. As planners we build communities and places that are welcoming, dynamic, and environmentally sound. As designers we draw from our deep respect for nature, history, and culture to craft designs that are relevant, stir thought, and tell a story. Our 5-time Emmy Award-winning Communications Group works to discover what people care about and then we shape campaigns to engage and inform. Collaboration unites all we do and flows from the knowledge that making connections is the root of creation and change.

We back founders who are reimagining the world. We invest $1-10m early, in those building daring adventures across Europe. Our partners have worked in leading Silicon Valley startups since the dawn of the Internet and have collectively amassed over 50 years in tech on both sides of the Atlantic. We are a small team of investors and startup operators who make just a small number of new investments per year, so every relationship matters. We appreciate that success is not built overnight; we are in it for the long haul. We are humble, curious, open and straightforward — having learned from both mistakes and successes.
