Woody Tasch
Woody Tasch is Chairman of Investors’ Circle, a non-profit network of investors that, since 1992, has facilitated the flow of over $130 million into more than 200 sustainability-minded early-stage companies and venture funds. Woody was formerly Treasurer of the Jessie Smith Noyes Foundation, where he stewarded an innovative mission-related investing program. He is an experienced venture capital investor and entrepreneur, and has served on numerous for-profit and non-profit Boards. He was founding Chairman of the Community Development Venture Capital Alliance, which supports venture investing in economically disadvantaged regions.
For the past few years, he has been incubating the idea of Slow Money, in collaboration with leaders in organics and sustainable agriculture in the U.S. and abroad. This newly organized 501c3, incubated by Investors’ Circle, is designing strategies for investing in local food systems and promoting new definitions of fiduciary responsibility around principles of carrying capacity, cultural and biological diversity, non-violence and care of the commons.
He has written numerous essays and articles, and his upcoming book, Inquiries into the Nature of SLOW MONEY, will be available at the time of the conference.
