Founding Investor Salon & Dinner
✨ Be the Light. Co-Create the Space. ✨
Tuesday, September 22, 2026
7:00–11:00 PM ET
📍 New York City | Public Hotel
Climate Week NYC + UNGA
During one of the world’s most important weeks for climate, capital, innovation, and global leadership, we warmly invite you to an intimate evening with the people contributing to build LIGHTSPACE.
The LIGHTSPACE Founding Investor Salon & Dinner brings together our Founding Team, Advisors, current investors, and a highly curated group of prospective investors to explore—and invest in—the future of regenerative real estate.
💛 LIGHTSPACE is creating a global ecosystem platform for regenerative places, properties, projects, and communities—connecting people, capital, technology, and land to accelerate a more beautiful and regenerative future. 🌎✨
This isn’t intended to be another large Climate Week event, although we are hosting alongside a larger climate week event for a curated group.
Our purpose is not to create the largest room. Our purpose is to create the right room and light space for our community to thrive.

💛 LIGHTSPACE
💎 More Than an Investment.
🤝 A Community.
Our vision is for LIGHTSPACE investors to be more than capital on a cap table.
We are cultivating a core community that can learn from one another, invest alongside one another, share opportunities, collaborate on projects, and help steward this emerging regenerative ecosystem together.
A room where people meet purpose.
Where capital meets regeneration.
Where projects meet possibility.
And where the people who can build the future find one another.
✨ Request Your Invitation and RSVP ASAP
Attendance is exclusively reserved for LIGHTSPACE Founding Team & Advisors, current investors, and invited prospective investors.
Space is extremely limited and all registrations are subject to approval to preserve an intimate and highly curated community.
📸 This event will be photographed. Please let us know if you do not wish to be photographed and we will ensure privacy.
✨ Why September 22?
The symbolism of 9/22/2026 beautifully reflects our intention.
9 represents purpose, humanitarian impact, wisdom, and legacy.
22 is known in numerology as the Master Builder—representing the ability to transform an ambitious vision into tangible reality through collaboration, resources, structure, and inspired action.
The complete date reduces to 5, representing innovation, transformation, movement, connection, and expansion.
PURPOSE → BUILD → TRANSFORM
We aren’t gathering simply to imagine a regenerative future.
We’re gathering the people who can build it. 🌎✨
