Author and Investor’s Circle founder Woody Tasch will discuss his new book, Inquiries into the Nature of Slow Money: Investing as if Food, Farms, and Fertility Mattered, at Nextspace (101 Cooper St) in Santa Cruz, CA on January 22nd at 6:30 pm. This event is free and co-sponsored by Nextspace, Pacific Mountain Advisors, and Bookshop Santa Cruz. Call 831-420-0710 or veronica@nextspace.us for more information.

Inquiries into the Nature of Slow Money presents the path for bringing money back down to earth—philosophically, strategically and pragmatically, and with an entrepreneurial spirit that is informed by the work of thousands of CEOs, investors, grant-makers, food producers and consumers who are seeding the restorative economy.  This mission emerges from Woody Tasch’s decades of work as a venture capitalist, foundation treasurer, and entrepreneur. His explorations shed new light on a truer, more beautiful, more prudent kind of fiduciary responsibility, a fiduciary responsibility that is not stuck in the industrial concepts of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, but which reflects the new economic, social and environmental realities of the 21st century.

Woody Tasch is chairman of Investors’ Circle, a nonprofit network of investors that has facilitated the flow of $130 million to 200 sustainability-minded, early stage companies and venture funds. An experienced venture-capital investor and entrepreneur, he has served on numerous for-profit and non-profit boards, and was founding chairman of the Community Development Venture Capital Alliance, which supports venture investing in economically disadvantaged regions. He lives in northern New Mexico.
