In the dynamic world of venture capital, innovation isn’t just about the next big tech disruptor or a groundbreaking app. Sometimes, it’s about fundamentally rethinking what truly constitutes “value” and “investment.” That’s precisely what was at the heart of the recent VNTR Investor Roundtable in Bali, featuring none other than legendary entrepreneur Russell Simmons, hosted by ELEMENTIS at the Hot Stone Club in Ubud.
Prem Sangeet from Supreme Factory was there, moderating a conversation that went beyond balance sheets and market caps, diving deep into a concept that we believe is set to redefine success: ROHI – Return On Health Investment.
Beyond Financial Returns: The Power of ROHI (Return On Health Investment)
For decades, the benchmark for any investment has been its financial return. But what if the greatest asset isn’t just capital, but the health and well-being of the individuals driving that capital – the founders, the teams, and the investors themselves?
Russell Simmons, a figure synonymous with cultural impact and entrepreneurial foresight, illuminated this paradigm shift. From co-founding Def Jam Recordings to his current focus on wellness sanctuaries like Gdas Bali Health and Wellness Resort and The Bali Eden, Russell’s journey has consistently evolved. Now residing in the spiritual heart of Ubud, Bali, he’s a living testament to the power of a mindful, health-centric lifestyle.
At the VNTR event, Russell passionately articulated why ROHI is becoming the most critical metric for modern success. It’s not just about living longer, but about living better – with more energy, clarity, and resilience, which directly translates into more sustainable and impactful business ventures.
Mindfulness: The Ultimate Business Edge
One of the most compelling aspects of the discussion was Russell’s emphasis on mindful entrepreneurship. He shared how practices like meditation and yoga aren’t just personal hobbies but foundational elements of his business longevity. In a high-stress, fast-paced environment like venture capital, mental and physical well-being are not luxuries; they are necessities for sustained creativity, decision-making, and leadership.
The VNTR Investor Roundtable brought together global investors eager to explore world-class opportunities, particularly within the burgeoning wellness and tech sectors. The synergy between mindfulness and venture capital, as championed by Russell and echoed by VNTR Capital, highlights a future where smart money flows not just into profitable ideas, but into those built on a foundation of holistic health.
Russell Simmons is an American entrepreneur, writer, and film producer. He is the co-founder of the hip-hop label Def Jam Recordings and creator of the clothing fashion lines Phat Farm and Argyleculture. Currently residing in Bali, Russell is the founder and visionary behind Gdas Bali Health and Wellness Resort and The Bali Eden, a sanctuary of wellness and peace located in the spiritual heart of Ubud.
