11.18.09 Gruber Speaks at Midwest Alternative Energy Forum

Chicago, IL — November 18, 2009 — VentureLab partner Michael Gruber addressed investors, entrepreneurs, and industry professionals who attended the Midwest Alternative Energy Forum at the Gleacher Center on November 18. He shared his insights on financing for clean technologies in light of the current economy.
Gruber stated that investments for clean-tech are still being made despite the recent recession, but the dynamic has changed compared to the last few years: deals are taking longer to complete, the average amount invested is decreasing, and pricing is more favorable for investors.
