SDForum Quarterly Venture Breakfast with PWC
Event Description:Kicking off the second year of the QuarterlyVenture Breakfast Series in collaboration with PWC, the panel will discuss trends in venture investments in Clean Tech.
Everyone’s talking about clean technology and a new wave of investments rolling in to fund companies in this sector. Where’s the truth and where’s the fiction? Will the funding come from angel investors, venture capitalists or project finance? And what does this mean for startups? Steve Bengston will present an overview of the investments in the sector and trends by technology within the industry (solar, biofuels, energy..) and then our veteran VC panel will discuss and debate where they feel the opportunities are and what the trends are going forward.
