The House of Beautiful Business is the network for the life-centered economy. Our mission is to create a new kind of business that is more purposeful, inclusive, and sustainable. Thought leadership-driven, community-powered, and experience-based, we bring together business leaders, economists, policy-makers, technologists, scientists, artists, and activists through consulting, in-person gatherings, online programs, publications, performances, and art. We inspire and equip them to shape an economy that honors all forms of life and living systems.

Founded in 2017, the House has grown from a pop-up event to a platform comprising learning and development experiences, an annual festival, local events, and more than 25,000 community members worldwide. We are a distributed team with offices in Berlin, Lisbon, Munich, and Atlanta. Over the past six years, we have worked with numerous Fortune 500 companies including Accenture, Ageas, Airbus, BCG, Deloitte, EY, Google, LinkedIn, Microsoft, PwC, Salesforce, SAP, Sky, and Volkswagen Group. Our seed investor is Porsche. For more information, visit our website at houseofbeautifulbusiness.com.

The___Dream was the world's most beautiful business festival, hosted by the House from June 2–5, 2023 in Sintra, Portugal. The event took place at Quinta da Bella Vista, the former summer residence of Arthur Conan Doyle of Sherlock Holmes fame, in the mystical Sintra mountains, 30 minutes north of Lisbon.

Over the course of four days, we gathered 600 leaders, thinkers, dreamers, and doers to fundamentally reimagine business at this moment of ecological, economic, and spiritual crisis. We investigated new paradigms and possibilities such as Web3 and decentralized economies, generative AI and regenerative business models, inner development, and new sentimental education for policymakers and managers. We explored the very earthy and the very lofty, deep-down and high-up: from the mycelial to the metaverse, from dream teams to dream thinking, from psychedelics to quantum, from digital sustainability to co-designing with nature, and more. In short, we invited everyone to dream bigger about business and society, and spotlight the most important new ideas and initiatives that can help shape a truly life-centered economy.

We welcomed attendees from more than 40 countries, diverse in terms of gender, age, culture, and professional background. Our audience ranged from CEOs, artists, academics, and technologists to freelancers, entrepreneurs, and activists. Many members of our community find themselves at inflection points in their careers or lives, and are looking for new inspiration and orientation. Some use the House of Beautiful Business to meet interesting people and hear fresh ideas. Others considere it a place to access original thinking, next-generation technologies, and novel practices to spur innovation efforts in their organization. What all of participants in our events have in common is an insatiable curiosity, an inquisitive mind, a big heart, and desire for real, honest connections. People come to the House searching for a community that offers them four things: inspiration, intelligence, intimacy, and impact.
