Regenerative Collaboration, Hylo & Reciprocity Mapping with Joshua & Tibet

In this Collaborative Conversation for Coherence 2025, Joshua Prieto (Seeds of Tao, RegenBEE) meets with Tibet Sprague (Hylo, Collaborative Technology Alliance) for an open exploration of regenerative technology, ecosystem design, and the challenge of building digital infrastructure for cooperation. The session unfolds as a heartfelt exchange between two practitioners actively shaping the tools and spaces that support community-led transformation.Tibet shares the history and vision behind Hylo, a pro-social coordination platform stewarded by the Terran Collective and designed to support purpose-driven groups and bioregional organizing. Joshua dives into the evolution of RegenBEE — from educational platform to ecosystem nursery — and the birth of the Regenerative Business Economics Ecosystem, a space for stewarding collaboration, reciprocity, and trust across regenerative businesses.Together, they explore how platforms like Hylo and initiatives like Coherence can become interoperable — through shared profiles, value flow visibility, and experimental tools for reciprocity tracking. The conversation also revisits the Collaborative Technology Alliance (CTA), a long-standing effort to weave aligned tech projects and now a potential strategic partner in the Coherence network.Key topics explored: 🔹 Hylo’s journey: from startup to open-source commons for regenerative communities 🔹 Designing tech to strengthen place-based, bioregional collaboration 🔹 CTA’s history, challenges, and potential renewal through Coherence 🔹 Why regenerative collaboration needs transparency in value flow 🔹 Reciprocity tracking without commodification: the vision behind HiveHoney 🔹 Interoperability experiments using Zapier, APIs, Open Collective, and Murmurations 🔹 RegenBEE’s new container for ecosystem incubation and stakeholder governance 🔹 MOKRs and tokenized transparency as tools for collective learning 🔹 The cultural tension between VC logic and collaborative infrastructure 🔹 Emergence over blueprint: stewarding relationships over time✨ For ecosystem weavers, social technologists, regenerative platform builders, and anyone dreaming of post-competitive collaboration — this is a living example of what's possible when shared purpose meets open conversation.🔹 Coherence 2025: https://coherence.tv/🔹 Seeds of Tao: https://seedsoftao.com/🔹 Tibet Sprague: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tibetsprague/🔹 Joshua Prieto: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshua-paul-prieto-10866441/
