commented on a project@laura I can see how you would think that simply asking people to give you money to start a business seems selfish considering the state of our economy and unemployment levels. However, small businesses such as this are the first to expand and create jobs, and good jobs at that. Jobs where the employer actually cares about the employee, treats them with respect and pays decently. A business such as this is good for the community and are often times fundamental to reviving downtrodden neighborhoods. Another point, Matt isn't simply begging for money, he is offering some service in trade, be it cooking classes, advertising, future product, and future product discounts. This type of approach is similar in idea to a CSA program, where you buy shares from a small farmer to help them get through the winter and then they in turn feed you through their harvest season. These small farmers would have a difficult time surviving without the community's involvement. I think causes like this are especially important in this economy where it is almost impossible for an entrepreneur to get started, leases, permits, and equipment in NYC is incredibly expensive, bank loans for a small business are almost non-existent in this economy, unless you are a larger, perhaps corporate entity. This is about us, the consumers, saying mass produced products full of preservatives are not acceptable. Mass farming techniques are not acceptable. We want a higher standard of food. It all starts with us. If we want it then we should have the conviction to give a hand to a small budding company like Scratchbread. Take a train 2x instead of a taxi and send them the balance. $20-$50 bucks isn't much to most people that live in this city, they'll spend that on brunch or a scarf--think of all the good that we can create together.
