It is sometimes said in business that it is not just what you know, but who you know that determines your success, especially if you know the right people. We build and maintain strong, active, and valuable relationships in the technology and energy sustainability markets, and make those relationships available to our portfolio companies.
We provide access to corporate and utility executives, sustainable energy policy makers and program managers, a strong network of co-investors, and some of the leading banks, attorneys and service providers who support new companies focused on energy sustainability.
We have executive relationships with multi-national corporations in a broad range of industries, including Accenture, Applied Materials, Boeing, Cadence Design Systems, Cisco, Dell, DST Systems, Flextronix, Google, Healthnet, Hitachi, Hoya, HP, IBM, Intel, Iron Mountain, Johnson Controls, Maxtor, Microsoft, Oracle, PG&E, Seagate, Siemens, SMUD, SoCal Edison, Solectron, and Vision Service Plan. We also have relationships with leading Sacramento based sustainable research institutions and policy makers such as UC Davis Energy Efficiency Center, UC Davis Lighting and Cooling Efficiency Centers, CleanStart and CalPERS.
