slow money:
“Slow Money”, a 501(c)3 non-profit based in Boulder, CO, has had considerable early impact pursuing its mission: To catalyze the flow of capital to local food enterprises and organic farms, connecting investors to the places where they live and “bringing money back down to earth.”
Through their national gatherings, regional events and local activities, over $40 million has been invested into more than 400 small food enterprises around the United States. Twenty-five local networks and 13 investment clubs have formed. Over 30,000 people have signed the Slow Money Principles. Slow Money events have attracted thousands of people from 46 states and 7 countries. Slow Money investing has begun in Nova Scotia, Switzerland, France and Belgium.
Slow Money was started by Woody Tasch, former chairman of Investors’ Circle — a nonprofit network of over 200 angel investors, professional venture capitalists, foundations, family offices and others. The idea to initiate the Slow Money movement came to Tasch while he was writing his book Inquiries Into the Nature of Slow Money– Investing as if Food, Farms and Fertility Mattered. The non-profit, Slow Money, was founded in November, 2008, following the publication of Tasch’s book. The movement gained significant momentum from a number of local and regional meetings, and press coverage during the first half of 2009 leading to an inaugural national gathering.
