From 2010-2015 Slow Money Northwest prototyped multiple innovations that connected investors and professionals interested in food and farming with sustainable food and farm businesses seeking investment and growth. Two compelling innovations are still in operation:
Farmer Reserve Fund
Cascadia Foodshed Financing Project
The Health Enterprise Development Initiative proved to be a successful proof-of-concept in how to provide training to healthy food entrepreneurs. The Entrepreneur Showcases helped explain and connect regional food businesses to investors.
