VC and Cleantech: Developing New Strategies for Success

Clean Energy Trust is a cleantech accelerator located here in Chicago that has awarded over $3.7M in funding to 33 clean energy startups, resulting in a lot of exciting growth. Their status as a 501C3 public charity gives them the flexibility to invest in earlier stage technology than traditional funds. They seek to be the "first money in" and work closely with their companies to achieve successful exits.

As the next installment of the Exelon Sustainability Seminar series, please join us in welcoming a couple of the senior members of Clean Energy Trust for an exciting discussion. They have been analyzing and working to solve the capital gap in cleantech. They will talk about the reasons why traditional venture capital and cleantech may not be well aligned and highlight strategies for addressing this problem via alternative structures.

This should be a great event for anyone interested in clean tech and sustainability, as well as offering an interesting perspective on VC and entrepreneurship. Lunch will be provided.
