We got Launcht!

The Flex Fund just got Launcht with the help of the William James Foundation's Sustainable Business Plan competition.  We made the first of 3 rounds of cuts in the competition and now have our own Launcht page to help raise funds and get us a vote closer to the final round of the competition.  So visit our page, donate (no amount is too small!) and help us get the word out that slow, small-scale, local investment in rural businesses can really work!

Slow Food, Slow Money, now Slow Finance

Looks like investing in local businesses over the long term has gotten some international attention.
