Alexander S. Wolf

COMMUNITY BUILDING STRATEGY & TRAINING

Community is not a vibe.
It’s a system you can learn.
Alexander S. Wolf has spent the past 25 years turning shared purpose into real-world ecosystems. As co-founder of Berlin’s Club Commission, he gave voice to the city’s creative underground. With “Transiträume,” he reimagined vacant urban spaces as hubs for social innovation. Through “AusserGewöhnlich Berlin,” he transformed a values-based business network into a foundation aligned with SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals. Today, as founder of GICA, he helps impact startups, investors, ESG leaders and family offices design and grow communities that matter. Learn the architecture, tools, and mindset behind trust-based networks – from someone who’s built them again and again.

LEARN HOW IT WORKS – WITH THE 17ACADEMY

Master the principles of community building through Alexander’s structured online training:

The 17ACADEMY for Impact Networking.
This certification masterclass combines real-world case studies, interactive modules, and a price winning app to expand your skills.
Learn how to build, grow, and sustain purpose-driven communities – step by step, from anywhere in the world.

BUILD YOUR OWN COMMUNITY – WITH STRATEGIC GUIDANCE

Have a mission or target group – but no structure yet?
Alexander helps you define your vision, shape your identity, and design the engine that powers your own community.
From early concept to launch strategy, you’ll receive hands-on support rooted in experience.

MAKE COMMUNITY YOUR BUSINESS MODEL

Community can become your strongest strategic asset:
whether you’re an impact startup, family office, or ESG team: Learn how to integrate it into your organization as a living system – for loyalty, innovation, branding, and long-term resilience.

ACTIVATE WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE

You don’t need to start from scratch.
Maybe you already have a network, audience, or client base – but no real engagement. Alexander shows you how to transform passive reach into active relationships based on meaning, trust, and shared purpose.

EMPOWERING FEMALE-LED COMMUNITIES

Women-led impact networks face unique challenges – and hold untapped potential.
This format helps female founders, professionals, and ESG leaders design their own communities from a position of strength.
Alexander combines inclusive architecture with practical tools for visibility, trust-building, and strategic growth.
Available as a custom module within the 17ACADEMY or as a standalone workshop for female-led teams and networks.

TAILOR-MADE FORMATS FOR EVERY IMPACT ACTOR

From startups to corporates, from investment firms to NGOs – every player needs a different approach.
Alexander adapts his support to your ecosystem, goals, and internal capacities.
You get what you truly need to grow – nothing off the shelf.
