ReFi Podcast S1-S3 | Celo Community, Education & Adoption — RPGF0

Over the last 2.5 years, the ReFi Podcast has positioned Celo as the epicenter of the Regenerative Finance movement, achieving 77,000+ downloads across 68 episodes and 186 shorts. Hosts John Ellison, johnx25bd, and Simar Mangat spotlighted key Celo projects like Kolektivo and Mento, and shared insights from Celo founders Sep Kamvar and Rene Reinsberg.

Ecosystem Impact

We connected Spirals with their lead engineer, built a VC network supporting guests on the show, and provided deal flow for projects like impactMarket, Digital Gaia, Thallo and Jasmine Energy. Our live discussions at events like SBS Earth and ETH Denver have bolstered community engagement.

Language Expansion

We launched sister podcasts in Spanish and Portuguese, broadening ReFi’s global impact.

Funding

We seek support to reward our dedicated team and enable leadership transition to two outstanding female hosts in Season 4. Gitcoin GR12 and Toucan Protocol supported S1 while a joint grant from Celo Foundation and Climate Collective supported S2 and S3.

Providing RPGF to ReFi Podcast supports a regenerative future with Celo's community at the center.
