Plans That Grow Money, But Not The People Who Inherit It.
Traditional financial planning often fails families- especially multigenerational business families- because it focuses too narrowly on the numbers, and too little on the people.
The focus is on accumulation not alignment. Most advisors focus on rates of return, minimizing taxes and financial products without ever addressing the deeper questions.
As a result, families may pass on assets but not values.
Without a long-term, human-centered approach, even the most sophisticated plans fall apart by the second or third generation.
Many families discover-often too late-that without intentional investment in human capital, financial wealth can become more of a burden than a blessing.
Human capital- the character, capabilities, and calling of each family member- is the most critical form of wealth a family has.
Planting Trees You Might Never Sit Under
The one who plants trees, knowing that he will never sit in the shade has at least started to understand the meaning of life.
– Rabindranath Tagore
At Think 3 Generations, we invite families to think beyond their own lifetimes, to plant seeds in the form of values, education, opportunity, and character development in the rising generation.
You may not see every fruit of that labor — but your children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren will. It’s the quiet, intentional work of shaping a legacy that outlives you — not just in dollars, but in the kind of people your family produces and the difference they make in the world.
Families often spend tremendous energy growing financial capital but overlook the essential investment in human capital: the dreams, character, and leadership potential of the next generation.
The Family Venture Fund becomes the engine that powers this growth. With the right structure, a long-term mindset, and guidance on utilization, the fund supports:
But it’s not a blank check. It’s an invitation — one that challenges rising family members to step into responsibility, vision, contribution and creativity.
Over time, this approach cultivates wise stewards, not entitled heirs. Leaders, not dependents.
We live in a world that worships immediacy. Make no mistake, this mindset is highly corrosive when applied to wealth stewardship and building human capital.
Many of the problems that sabotage and erode generational wealth are rooted in short-term thinking. The FVF requires a completely different operating system.
The rhythm of real legacy-building is not fast. It’s not flashy. But it’s powerful! Because just like an orchard, the true fruit of a family’s labor takes time — but when it comes, it nourishes generations.
If the Family Venture Fund breaks the cycle of generational wealth sabotage,
How exactly does it do that?
By investing in the most important asset in your family: the human capital of the rising generation!!
The FVF is an inclusive family activity. Make it something to do with your family, not just for your family.
Some examples include:
One of the valuable services we provide is instruction and guidance on what is the best structure and design for your family and then how to utilize the Family Venture Fund strategically throughout multiple generations.
We are currently creating an extensive online course that you can take at your convenience to learn more about the technical and logistical details for your family. Right now, schedule a call with us to talk about it further.
Whether you’re just beginning to think about multigenerational wealth or already have a complex family enterprise, the Family Venture Fund is one of the key ingredients that brings it all together — emotionally, philosophically, and financially. We have nearly two decades helping business families create, implement and manage this powerful methodology.
