Good Food Spotlight on alternative ownership structures supporting a more equitable, resilient, and community-centered food enterprise.

After several years hiatus, Slow Money NYC is thrilled to relaunch Good Food Spotlight! Join us for an evening of thought-provoking conversation and community connection as we explore various alternative ownership structures and how they can support more equitable, resilient, and community-centered food enterprises.

You’ll hear candid insights from business leaders and experts who are actively working within these models, discussing both the benefits and the real-world challenges. This is a unique opportunity to expand your own network, and learn from others who care deeply about the future of food, finance, and community wealth-building.

Grants can be an ideal way to secure early-stage capital, but often pose logistical challenges to young start-ups. Hear from funders and entrepreneurs with first-hand experience about how and when to apply for grants and some of the resources that can be most helpful along the way. RSVP HERE.

Revenue-based financing allows for clearer deals with objective financing terms for both funders and entrepreneurs, without falling to traps or debates over valuation. Hear from entrepreneurs and funders who have successfully used this model. RSVP HERE.

As we pursue greater social justice in all facets of life, new models are showing how businesses can be owned and controlled in ways that put social equity into the foundation of our economy. How do the models work? What are the opportunities for investors? RSVP HERE.

Democratizing investing through investor crowdfunding - what is it? How do the new SEC regulations make crowdfunding more attractive and democratized? How can investors be champions? How do you set up a successful campaign as an entrepreneur? In this session, we will hear from industry experts, successful entrepreneurs, and engaged funders. *Brought to you by the Social Venture Circle Community Capital working group, and Slow Money NYC, with a JEDI (Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion) lens.
