DISQUS

Don Jones - VentureDeal · 2 years ago

One thing that is interesting is that the clean-tech sector doesn't have the many deals, but relatively large amounts invested, in many cases with private equity firms providing additional firepower to the venture capital firms involved. So the large dollar growth in clean tech seems to be from expansion stage rounds, not in early stage new ideas getting funded, which would imply a continued dearth of very new clean technologies getting funded.

It's almost like many of the large clean tech deals were taken off the shelf, dusted off and funded, now that oil is so expensive.

Great numbers - not really surprised to see tech investments are heading down as still not understand of Web 2 / Social Media's revenue model.
