Notes by Narsi

World over, many finance sector stakeholders burnt their fingers investing in cleantech companies about ten years back - and this included government-based financial institutions.

Many famous venture capitalists, including the likes of Vinod Khosla, lost serious money last time.

It took the industry a few years to recover from the shock during which period the cleantech sector was practically untouchable for the investors.

Now cleantech, in its new avatar climate tech, is once again making the financial investor rounds. Will the fortunes of the climate tech investing community is better?

Such a question is never easy to answer, but it is fair to say that the stars are all much better aligned to the climate tech startup and climate tech sector in general, this time around.
