Bellingen Chamber of Commerce

It was an amazing process. Over 500 members of the Slow Money community participated. And now, just a week after we first asked you to help plan our next steps, we’re ready to share some results from our survey and conference call.

The answers you provided paint a clear picture of our movement, and suggest some audacious next steps we can take together.

At every step of the way, our social media experts were blown away by the response of this community. Farmers and producers shared intimate stories of what helps them succeed; Investors described the sort of businesses they want to infuse with nurture capital; And consumers and eaters from all walks of life shared what Slow Money means to them, and how they’re already bringing money back down to earth.

You cared enough to share your stories and your vision. And it’s your ideas that will shape the future of this movement. Which is why we’re already working on suggestions you proposed — from launching an online education and recruitment campaign, to testing out models for local investment clubs or chapters, to showing you where YOUR Slow Money can be invested.

There’s a lot to do. And thanks to your input we now know who we’re doing it for, and how to get started. Click here to read more and continue the conversation.

Thanks again,

Vice President, Slow Money Alliance
