Glatz Impact Ventures catalyses the shift into an Age of Wisdom by working with Impact Investors, Business Schools, Impact Startups and Companies to integrate the worldview, practices and insights of ancient wisdom traditions into their daily actions, investments, processes and culture. Guiding capital & leadership into The Age of Wisdom Start a dialogue Leadership, Capital & Legacy Building For leaders, investors, and institutions navigating complexity, stewardship, and long-term value. In a time of accelerating technological change, environmental and systemic risk, and growing societal expectations, leadership and capital are increasingly intertwined with responsibility. Decisions made today shape not only financial outcomes, but institutional credibility, social trust, and long-term value across generations. My work sits at the intersection of leadership, capital, and stewardship. Drawing on cross-cultural wisdom traditions, modern systems thinking, and practical experience with leaders and investors, I support those who recognise that long-term value creation requires more than optimisation - it requires discernment, ethical clarity, and the ability to act responsibly within complex living systems. This approach is designed for those who hold influence and responsibility, and who seek to align leadership, investment decisions, and legacy with enduring value. Leadership, Capital & Stewardship Dana Ulrike Glatz works at the intersection of leadership, capital, and long-term responsibility. With a background in international business, change management, and impact investing, she advises wealth owners, family offices, and institutions on aligning leadership decisions and capital allocation with long-term value creation. She brings over two decades of experience across Europe, India, and Latin America - including senior roles in global consulting, entrepreneurship in emerging markets, and the founding of impact-driven organisations and multi-stakeholder initiatives. Her work combines strategic clarity with deep cross-cultural understanding, informed by academic teaching, field-based inquiry, and direct engagement with leaders across sectors. Today, Dana supports leaders and investors who understand that navigating complexity, stewardship, and intergenerational value requires discernment, ethical clarity, and wise leadership - capabilities that extend beyond technical expertise alone. Explore working together Leadership, Capital & Legacy in Practice Core areas of work In times of AI, complexity and accelerating change, leadership requires more than intelligence, knowledge, tools, and methods. It calls for wisdom – a deeper form of clarity that allows for sound decision-making in uncertainty and leadership from a more aligned and grounded place. Decisions made today shape not only financial outcomes, but institutional credibility, relationships, and long-term value across generations – in business as well as in life. Yet many of these decisions are made under pressure, complexity, and without true clarity – despite having all the information at hand. This is where a different kind of clarity is required. A deeper form of knowing, beyond analysis. The Decision Clarity Intensive A private, guided process for moments where clarity is critical. Precision Framing (60 min) Clarifying the real decision beneath the surface. Clarity Ceremony (Rapé, Indigenous Medicine) Accessing clarity beyond analytical thinking. Integration & Action (60 min) Translating clarity into decisive action. Outcome A decision that feels clear, grounded, and internally aligned – and the confidence to act on it immediately. 50% of the proceeds are directed to Indigenous-led projects through the Wisdom Age Foundation. For questions, request a confidential conversation. Request a private session Decision clarity for leaders “I came in with a decision I had been circling for months. After the process, it was clear – and I acted on it immediately. The clarity and calm I felt were immediate and tangible.” CEO, Family-Owned Business "Dana helped us bring coherence between our values, our capital, and the impact we want to see - without simplifying the complexity ". Principle, Family Office Legacy & Impact Guidance For wealth owners, family offices, and foundations, legacy today is increasingly understood as the responsible stewardship of capital in service of long-term societal and ecological wellbeing. Dana Ulrike Glatz supports the development of impact investing and philanthropy portfolios that are grounded in systems thinking and informed by Indigenous and ancestral wisdom traditions. Her work draws on long-standing relationships with Indigenous leaders and knowledge holders, as well as cross-cultural experience across Europe, Asia, and Latin America, to help capital engage with living systems respectfully and effectively. Rather than focusing on financial optimisation, the work centres on impact integrity: clarifying purpose, defining strategic priorities, identifying credible, community-led projects, and shaping portfolios that contribute to regenerative outcomes and intergenerational value. Particular attention is given to questions of power, ownership, cultural context, and the conditions for respectful collaboration. Dana works alongside existing financial, legal, and investment advisors, offering strategic guidance at the intersection of impact, culture, and responsibility - ensuring that capital is deployed with alignment to values, discernment, humility, and long-term perspective. Mentoring Founders Building and leading impact-driven organisations requires founders to navigate complexity, responsibility, and constant decision-making - often without a trusted space for reflection and challenge. Dana Ulrike Glatz works as a mentor and sparring partner for impact startup founders and NGO leaders, drawing on extensive experience in entrepreneurship, management consulting, international development, and impact investing. She draws on her background and experience in building and leading a company in India, senior roles in management consulting, training with the United Nations, and the founding and co-founding of mission-driven organisations and alliances. The mentoring is practical, discreet, and grounded in real-world experience. It supports founders and leadership teams in strategic decision-making, organisational development, collaboration, and navigating conflict - strengthening clarity, resilience, and alignment between purpose and execution. “Having Dana as a sparring partner brought clarity at moments where decisions really mattered.” Executive Director, NGO Explore working together Seeds of Impact Moments from lived practice across leadership, capital, and systems change This work unfolds across diverse contexts - from global impact investing forums and leadership conferences to closed-door dialogues, project development, and strategic collaboration with founders, investors, and institutions. The images below offer glimpses into this lived practice: moments of exchange, decision-making, and shared inquiry across geographies and cultures. Together, they reflect an ongoing commitment to aligning leadership, capital, and responsibility in service of long-term value and meaningful change.

How do we build a wise society based on an economic system there to protect all life? What are the blind spots to look at, the interest and fears behind unhealthy patterns - in our personal lives and current culture and systems. And how do we unlock our inner knowing, and make it and and the timeless wisdom of nature applicable for a flourishing life on this planet? Photo made at the Co-Creation Loft in Berlin PAST SALON Satish Kumar is a former Jain monk and most known for being an activist and inspiring speaker. He is the editor emeritus of the "Resurgence & Ecologist" magazine and has founded the renowned Schumacher College in South Devon, UK.

WISDOM LAB A new era needs new approaches of evaluating things, new laws, processes, systems, business and cooperation models, materials and first and foremost: A different mindset . One that is not simply looking for “the next new thing” to buy, invest or promote but one that is discerning, looking for the motivation behind the “new”. Is it serving people & planet? Is it thought through holistically? Is it a band-aid or a cure, a quick fix or a systemically suiting solution? Developing these innovations and new approaches takes courage, time, funding and a supportive environment. As these are not catering to the current logic, the mainstream market demand and they are not the “low hanging fruit” kind of projects. We develop these type of projects in-house and support others (see pioneers ) who dare to do the same with the objective in mind to lay the cornerstones of an Age of Wisdom. Two Wisdom Age Projects are currently under development: The Wisdom Age Index & the Ecological Offsetting Program . Reach out to us to collaborate, role out a pilot with us or co-fund our endeavours. Our current Wisdom Lab projects WISDOM AGE INDEX Reach out to us WAI Our current approach of dealing with problems is to find a quick fix - for this, we identify the apparent culprit (e.g. CO2), gather data about it and focus on finding ways to eradicate it. Indeed it is important to reduce the emission of CO2, however what we fail to do is to take a step back. To see the big picture . CO2 is only one component in our cycle of life and our negative impact on our ecosystem is much larger and multifold - reducing emissions is only one step. Doing this will not be sufficient to maintain climatic conditions on earth that allow our and other species to survive and thrive. To ask ourselves what we actually want . Nobody's deep desire is to reduce CO2. We all want an enhancement of our quality of life. How can we do this in harmony with nature, respecting the boundaries of our planet and the dignity of all beings? To adopt a holistic view and systemic thinking approach to assess the status quo and identify the understanding, culture, systems, collaborations and solutions needed to not only find a fix for a certain problem, such as too much CO2 emissions, but to shift to a truly integrative mode of being. With the Wisdom Age Index we have developed a compass to holistically assess companies, startups and investment projects - as a baseline for a continuous improvement journey to an Age of Wisdom . A compass The WAI is a compass showing the way for companies, startups, and investment projects that wish to positively contribute to protecting our planetary boundaries and to create life quality for all. The first step of the WAI process is to assess the current holistic value the company, startup, or investment project is having for people & planet. Based on this assessment, a systemic development plan is elaborated and implemented step by step with the support of the c-level and throughout the whole company. The WAI is not a rating system, but a journey of continuous, holistic, and step-wise evolution of a company, startup, or investment project towards being a symbiotic, useful entity embedded in its environmental and societal ecosystem. The approach The WAI is based on conscious ecology. Conscious ecology understands that all forms of life have a function performed in their ecosystems, and respect all existing forms and their contained sacredness. It was based on deep ecology and improved using ancient knowledge. The WAI is based on the insight that our benchmark cannot be a "best in class" approach - which means it is not about being "more sustainable" than other companies in the same industry or about fulfilling legal requirements. It is about adhering to and learning from the laws and processes of nature and holistically preparing one's company, startup, or investment project for a new era - integrating the culture and behavior needed to be attractive to investors, employees, and customers, to be systemically sustainable and resilient. To do this, the WAI uses the understanding that we are all living organisms within an ecosystem, applying this principle including the organization in analysis. The WAI focuses on 4 aspects: Leadership - How is the brain and culture of the organism Eco-Action - What is the relationship between the organism and the natural ecosystem? Building the New - What is the prediction and innovation capacity of the organism Unity - What is the status of the organism's homeostasis and how are the organism's relationships with its social ecosystem? ECOLOGICAL OFFSETTING PROGRAM Reach out to us Offsetting

Roots & Responsibility The Glatz family originates from the Black Forest region in Germany and can be traced back to 1471. Over centuries, the family has lived through many historic transitions and today spans multiple countries and cultures. I grew up with a strong sense of lineage — not as status, but as orientation. Early exposure to our wider family abroad shaped my curiosity for languages, cultures, and systems, as well as my respect for what sustains life over time: relationships, land, and continuity. The values I work from today are deeply rooted in this upbringing.

INDIGENOUS WISDOM GATHERING Sapmi - Sweden April 19 - 23th How do you build a resilient and thriving organization, while being in balance with nature? How do you lead as an example in the world of investments when it comes to sustainability? A Transformative Experience for Conscious Leaders & Investors As you ask yourself these essential questions about becoming resilient – about creating a path that keeps the ecosystem in balance – let's ask those that have sustained themselves and nature in a rough territory and climate for thousands of years. In Sapmi, the vast arctic tundra of northern Sweden, we connect to ten thousand years of ancient knowledge. The Saami are the last indigenous people left in Europe still herding their reindeer and keeping their traditions alive. What could an indigenous people tell us about the complex problems of our current times? What could we possibly learn about leadership, sustainability and decision making from them? We always look for the next new thing - to be up to date, ahead of the curve. However, there is deep wisdom in what survived the trends and storms of time . Ancient knowledge and practices are key for our modern times. As neither complex problems, harsh environments nor difficult decisions are something new. Our current societal problems and organisational challenges are in their core as old as humanity . Taking the right decisions in the -40°C arctic night can mean life or death. Reading the landscape and making sure your reindeer get through the winter well decides upon the future of you and your community. Being able to recharge, to adapt and to wisely use the resources you have is key to a Saami life. As it is to yours as a leader in todays world. This is a rare opportunity to meet Saami Elders , draw inspiration from their old Saami ways, their timeless wisdom and integrative leadership . Are you ready to deeply centre yourself, and to expand your leadership capacity with ancient wisdom ? We invite you to join us for this transformative experience . Deepen your strength and clarity to be a leader for a vibrant future. We will cross boundaries together, dive deep into the ways of the Arctic tundra, learn from the Elders, with each other and from the raw, wild, winter nature. The Saami The Saami have been living in harmony and connection with nature for thousands of years and have maintained a truly sustainable culture that preserved their environment. Like most indigenous culture around the world, their philosophy of life revolve around a deep respect and understanding of the laws of nature as well as a humbleness and gratefulness to mother earth. The Saami had a nomadic lifestyle herding reindeers until they endured a process of forced assimilation from the Scandinavian nations. Today, most of Saami people live a modern life while reconnecting to their ancestral origin and honouring their cultural heritage following the deep collective trauma they experienced. Their traditional territory, which is called Sápmi spreads across the whole northern part of Scandinavia including areas of Sweden, Norway, Finland and Northwest area of Russia. Around 20,000 Saami live in Sweden, which is approximately 0.22% of Sweden’s total population. The challenge to reintegrate their traditional values and ancient knowledge with a modern lifestyle is even further exacerbated by today's mining and other economic activities that threatens the preservation of their essence and nature. They have the most precise knowledge about the weather conditions, about the plants, the diet, the resources. The Sami people have an ethical relationship with nature; a respect for nature that also has a spiritual side. The Arctic region is uniquely vulnerable to global warming, but if it is to weather the storm, it would do well to adopt Sami methods of land and resource management, communal co-operation and communication, local knowledge and best practice. The Guardian An Adventurous Experience Together with other leaders we invite you to experience ancient knowledge and reconnection with your inner wisdom and pristine nature. Get inspiration from Saami Elders who naturally embody insights about the gift of life and their role in it. Evolve your clarity and inner strength to guide your leadership and your organization.

It is an extraordinary privilege to be in the company of elders who are carrying forward ancestral wisdom relating to the interconnectedness and interwovenness of life, and particularly so if they come from cultures that are living examples of reciprocity and mutuality. It is also a real joy to spend time with other leaders and change-agents who are committed to systems change. It requires from all of us the courage and humility of letting go of everything that we thought we knew and to drop into the powerful emergent space of deep listening. I was humbled to be a part of this initial very powerful gathering and fully recommend any future events to others." Wendy Ellyatt www.wendyellyatt.com "As we are entering what will hopefully be what can be described as a metamodern world, we need to find new ways to see and be in the world. Indigenous wisdom will be key in this transition. We need to take experience from all the previous ways that we humans have related to each others, to the society and to the earth for new systems to emerge that integrate the best of humanity in relation to nature. The wisdom gatherings are a unique event and firs t step into that direction as to bridge indigenous wisdom with the modern and postmodern world to give birth to something uniquely new. It pushes us to rethink at an individual level how to bring transformation within ourselves to then catalyse and co-create the transformation the transformation in the outer world. " Tomas Björkman www.tomas-bjorkman.com "Reconnecting with the Sámi Elder Lars-Henrik, meeting his Sámi tribe and getting to know his home turf - this will be a highlight for me in 2023. Count me in and I will confide what I'm looking most forward to: the joiking (their special way of communicating in a singing way). Magic, mystical, mythical - and Lars-Henrik is a true master of the Joiks. My deepest memory from the last Indigenous Wisdom Gathering with the Kogi." Peter Jäderberg www.jaederberg.com Our old world and home "The roof was of healthy clouds The floor was of healthy mountain moors, plains and valleys where rivers and waterways rippled freely, which are the lifelines of life The mountain sides were our walls, they controlled the winds and storms Our new world and home The roof is leaking, the floor has deep furrows, the waterways are dammed, acidified and the mountain walls are cracking” - a poem by Lars Henrik Blind (Saami Elder) Join us for this deep experience & leadership journey First Name Last Name Email Code Phone How many will you be?
