The Slow Money gathering aims to fix the economy from the ground up, one small food enterprise at a time. At a time when the big business in town is a struggling stock market, disgraced investment bankers, and a market overrun with poisonous factory-farm produce – the Slow Money Gathering is bringing to bear a new kind of investing. They call it natural capital, farmer capital, social capital, local capital, nurture capital & cheese capital (why not?).
In the last two years, the gathering has hosted more than 1000 people form 24 states, and more than $4.25 million dollars have been invested in 16 of the presenting small food enterprises. The event has also given rise to local chapters, who have begun investing around the country.
