“FINANCING THE CLEANTECH BUILD-OUT”
As the cleantech industry matures, companies must now go from proof of concept to actual production. And that’s a lot more complicated than it sounds. Fisker Automotive needed $65 million to put production of its electric car into high gear and found it in the Middle East. When OptiSolar was looking to build one of the nation’s largest solar power installations it didn’t turn to Sand Hill Road. It went to Winnipeg instead, quickly closing on more than $135 million this spring. How did they pull it off? This event will introduce venture capitalists and entrepreneurs to experts from the project planning and finance world. They will discuss everything from negotiating the best terms to securing the right amount of leverage and finding potential strategic acquirers. The Venture Capital Journal is teaming with the editors of Project Finance International to bring you this exclusive event.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND? Venture capitalists and entrepreneurs with startups that are transitioning from proof of concept to commercial production.
