No Time to Reinvent,
So We Replicate
We close the global "scaling gap" by findings proven solutions, connecting them with the projects, partners, and capital they need to succeed in new regions.
-
The world doesn’t need more ideas, it needs scale.
-
Too many innovations get stuck in pilots.
-
Cities and ecosystems need proven solutions, now.
-
Capital exists, but it’s not reaching the projects that need it most.
Okhtapus bridges that gap by validating solutions, matching innovators with partners, and replicating success worldwide.
Unlike accelerators or incubators, we don’t start at the idea stage. We focus on replication and deployment.
What we do:
-
Fast-track replication across regions and sectors
-
Matchmake innovators with cities, corporates, and funders
-
Deliver real projects, not just pitch decks or pilots
-
Build a global pipeline of replicable projects
-
Enable place-based financing to unlock local impact
About Okhtapus - اختاپوس
Okhtapus is our blueprint. We chose it because nothing embodies resilience, creativity, and global connection better than the octopus — nature’s ultimate replicator.
We chose Okhtapus, deliberately spelled this way, because it means “octopus” in Farsi, a nod to both cultural roots and the global reach of our work. Like the octopus, we extend many tentacles, connecting regions and sectors to drive impact at scale.
What’s in a Name?
An octopus has three hearts. So do we. Innovators, Enablers, and Funders form the lifeblood of our replication model, working in sync to keep solutions alive and moving.
Three Hearts, One Mission
Each octopus arm has its own brain. That’s how we think too: locally rooted, globally connected. Our tentacles reach into every corner of the world, spreading proven solutions like wildfire.
Octopuses move seamlessly between ocean and shore, masters of change in any environment. They bend, stretch, and reinvent themselves to survive and thrive. That spirit of resilience and creativity is what drives us to build a future where people and planet can do the same.

??? Enabler
"Okhtapus helped us identify solutions that actually work. We don’t have the time or resources to risk choosing the wrong innovations. Being connected to handpicked, tested solutions and seeing how others have deployed them gives us the confidence to transition faster rather than rely on business-as-usual products"
Ignasi, CEO of Ocean Ecostructures
"Joining Okhtapus gave us the partners, funding, and guidance to bring our solution to new regions. With a network that’s both global and connected to real projects that need our innovation, we can focus on delivering our product and impact instead of chasing opportunities."
??? funder
"Okhtapus connects our capital with solutions aligned to the impact we care about most. Replication takes care of much of the de-risking, letting us invest with confidence in a portfolio of proven projects. Instead of chasing single, risky initiatives, we back solutions that already work and can scale to deliver real impact."
Martin, CEO of Open Earth Foundation
"Being part of Okhtapus means joining a network that’s different. It breaks silos, cuts through the noise, and connects us to real-world, place-based projects where we can see the tangible value of our contribution. We can share knowledge, influence replication, and support solutions that actually scale."
