Slow Money NYC is a chapter of Slow Money, a national non-profit organization catalyzing investment in sustainable food and farms.
Inspire. Slow Money NYC aims to spark dialogue and action addressing the nexus of where our food comes from and where our money goes. We hope to reshape roles for investors and extend the definition of “investment,” providing alternatives to Wall Street.
Connect. Slow Money NYC has attracted over 450 followers on Meetup and many dues-paying members. Join Slow Money NYC as we grow organically:
- Building a network of food activists, impact investors and social entrepreneurs.
- Hosting public conversations like Entrepreneur Showcases featuring local food enterprises, Workshops at local food conferences and Courses (upcoming).
Invest. Slow Money NYC seeks to align investments with values to catalyze a more resilient local economy and a thriving sustainable food system for all. In just one year, Slow Money NYC has helped raise $300,000 to fund local food & farm businesses through direct investment and our pilot project NYC LION, a group of angel investors focused on sustainable food.
Everyone is an Investor in Food. JOIN Slow Money NYC! We can all can be agents of change through various financial decisions — shopping locally, patronizing a local bank, making a loan or placing an investment.
Slow Money NYC actively seeks volunteers and partnerships with aligned organizations to help us continue to positively change the food system. All are welcome to participate in Slow Money NYC!
Hi there. My wife and I have just started a Local, Organic, food Delivery Business in the NYC- Long Island area. I came across your website and wanted to learn more. Please contact when your able. Thank You!!
Good morning, Jeff: Congratulations on your new venture. It’s always exciting to hear about emerging businesses that build the NYC-area food shed. We’re inspired by entrepreneurs who create solutions for the broken systems of food and finance. Please know that we’re an all-volunteer organization, so it’s tough for us to reach out regarding individual business developments. We have a couple of events coming up – come by and we’ll get to meet in person. Here’s our Meetup site for more details: http://www.meetup.com/Slow-Money-NYC/ May our paths cross this spring! Thank you.
Entrepreneurs can now “Request Funding Help” by filling out an online form for this purpose under the “Entrepreneurs” tab on the Slow Money NYC website. Our volunteer advisors will direct you to local resources including investors participating in NYC Local Investing Opportunities Network (LION).
