WHAT IS SLOW MONEY?

Investing in real places, people and enterprises close to home. We call this Nurture Capital.

​

​

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; the triple bottom line, People, Planet, Profit.

 

​

Providing balance to Fast Money, often invested with focus only on profit, in unknown places and products.

PROGRAMS
