Slow Money NYC has announced a Call for Submissions to its inaugural Entrepreneur Showcase on May 14th. Applications are due by March 30th.

Slow Money NYC believes we can build a resilient, sustainable economy by increasing our investments in small-scale food and farming enterprises in the New York region.  We seek food and farming entrepreneurs to present business plans to potential investors, food activists, and peers.  The Showcase will spark a range of investment conversations, helping to develop funding channels for local and sustainable food businesses.  We encourage a wide variety of food enterprises, at various stages of growth, to apply to present.

The Showcase will also feature an exhibit floor of services and organizations for local food businesses, including not-for-profits, government agencies, lawyers, accountants, potential funders, and more.  The full event schedule and list of partners will be announced soon.

To apply to present your business at the Showcase, please respond to the Call for Submissions.  Applications are due by March 30th, 2011.  After review by the Slow Money Advisory Board, ten finalists will be selected by April 15th to present at the Showcase.  For event updates or to learn more, visit Slow Money NYC Meet Up.  For questions regarding the Entrepreneur Showcase, please send an email to showcase@slowmoneynyc.org.  Thank you!
