Energy
2011 was a pivotal year for the energy sector – the world witnessed a colossal nuclear power disaster at Fukushima, Japan and the venture capital flameout of Solyndra. Until recently the energy sector was hot among investors, but what now? Ray Rothrock takes a candid look at the energy sector in, “Venture Capital and Energy in the United States: Where to From Here,” published by The Huffington Post on New Year’s Day.
Venrock’s Matthew Nordan wrote a four-part series of posts about the state of cleantech venture capital, including The Money, The Investors, The Companies and Final Thoughts. The posts were published by GigaOm and also appear on Matthew’s blog, Secret Forumula.
