Slow Money SLO

Slow Money provides a meaningful alternative to our current financial system that has run amok – trillions of dollars a day flowing through capital markets in securities that no one fully understands, contributing to systemic problems of our time. What does Slow Money mean? Investing in real places, in people and enterprises close to home. Investing patiently, over time, with a goal of building healthy enterprises, communities and ecosystems, not just extracting financial wealth. Measuring Return on Investment by the tangible world we create around us and the health of our soil, not just the profit we make. Providing balance to the Fast Money we’ve been investing to maximize profit at all costs. How we work: Inspire. Connect. Invest. Inspire. Chapter members support and promote the Slow Money Principles and encourage others to become a part of the national movement by showing their support locally. Connect. Offer a forum to businesses that are compatible with the Slow Money Principles and make introductions to potential investors and experienced individuals who may offer expertise and support in other ways. Invest. Slow Money aims to spark a range of investment conversations, helping develop unique funding relationships for sustainable food and farming businesses.
