We imagine a world where our fellow WealthHackers are encouraged to develop and launch their hacks, and are supported through a combination of financial and social capital and access to an aligned hacker community. We are partnering with our first supporting sponsor, the UK-based Joseph Rowntree Foundation, to launch the inaugural Hacking Wealth Challenge and to identify new ideas or works in progress that can be significantly advanced with a one-time infusion of GBP 15,000 over a 4 - 8 week sprint.

What Qualifies as a Hack?

Below are example hacks that align inside of what we’ve identified as the five “dimensions” for these scalable subversions:

Legal / Governance

“Trust-busting” instruments that enable full expression of wealth
Redefine “fiduciary duty” to be more than private wealth accumulation
Alternative approaches to who are the legal guardians of wealth (eg. not trustee model)

Financial

Models for making investment decisions more inclusive, participatory and democratic
Client service and business models that prioritise repair and the redistribution of wealth, power and privilege
Alternative fund economics design and models that build community health and wealth

Digital

Tools and practices for spend-down redistribution modelling
Financial Planning technology that supports holistic investment and financial planning decisions
Alternative platforms, structures and tools that support investing in alternative economies

Accounting

Reimagine a P&L that captures all forms of value
Tax, regulatory and accounting policy reform and advocacy
Tax planning that prioritises redistribution of wealth through solidarity, not charity

Behavioural

Behavioural and psychological tools for wealth holders to redirect their wealth, manage family dynamics and replace misaligned intermediaries.
Alternative approaches to stakeholder governance / accountability (eg. planning for future generations)
