Clean Tech Money

Clean Tech MoneyThere’s a great blog on many things tech, including clean tech, called GigaOm, if you don’t know it.  I dropped in for a comment the other day on the estimable Katie Fehrenbacher’s piece about the recent LinkedIn IPO and its impact on clean tech finance.  She suggested that VC money would be migrating away from clean tech and my feeling was clean tech’s gone beyond that stage – way beyond.

Lo and behold, she followed up on my thought, and Pike Research analyst Clint Wheelock’s seconding of my emotion, in another post today:  Has Cleantech Moved Beyond VC? Interesting conversation there, I must say, and I’m certainly gratified to have been able to make a contribution to it.
