S4X Ventures

Much has been made about smart grids, energy independence, clean energy, etc.  Whether you like it or not, I think we will have a clean energy infrastructure in place in the United States.  Even today, the National Clean Energy Project forum is being held in Washington, DC.  This forum is a follow-up to the National Clean Energy Summit.

From a corporate development standpoint, this will present an opportunity for those companies willing to get connected to the grid.  By "grid", I'm talking about the technologies, organizations and funding sources that will help to change the energy infrastructure paradigm.

We are currently working on business development opportunities for a client in the energy management sector.  Their technology connects the suppliers, consumers and the energy markets.  This is one example a business opportunity.

Regarding funding, several top VC firms are looking to invest in clean energy including Kleiner Perkins (KPCB GreenTech Team).  Multiple funding sources may add in business formation efforts.

As a business consulting firm and network orchestration firm, we are fortunate to be on the front line of the clean energy movement.  Yes, clean energy is good for the environment but it can also be good for the growth of your business.  I think the rhetoric is about to take a back seat to action by mutliple sectors.  Will your company be connected to the grid..the action?
