Woody Tasch

Last night five of us from the Common Good Bank project joined about 40 others at the Gasoline Alley Foundation (GAF) in Springfield, Massachusetts, for three hours of schmoozing and an interview with Woody Tasch, author of Slow Money and founder of the Slow Money movement, which aims to create “a grassroots, non-profit seed fund supporting small food enterprises and building the nurture capital industry”.

Common Good Bank could be the vehicle for thousands of such funds. We will be talking more with Woody about how these two initiatives could work together to make both happen much more quickly.

Rob Thomas, founder of Social(k), and GAF’s Joe Sibilia hosted the evening. Joe asked some deep questions about the Slow Money movement, in an irreverent playful style that kept everyone engaged.
