"This annual event exists and continues to grow in stature and importance. Its organizers have a genuine heart-felt approach that brings together progressive entrepeneurs and investment firms with the common goal of creating sustainable ventures. The approach is youthful, the presentation is remarkably professional, and the networking opportunities provided and stimulated are unlimited. Above all, the caliber and number of future business prospects and venture capital firms in attendance seemed to surpass other events I have attended. I will look forward to participation in these conferences here in Santa Barbara in future years." “It was certainly my pleasure. You guys really do a great job on this event and it is very valuable to have something like this to bring the community together. Thanks for all YOU do!” “Pleasure was mine Alissa. I hope my contribution was useful. I certainly enjoyed meeting the many VC firms and entrepeneurs there and I made some excellent contacts. For instance, I engaged the folks from the digital imaging / GPS firm that has developed software for detecting and pinpointing methane releases in dialogue, and discussed with them a possible application for them at utility companies to determine where clusters of electric vehicles are growing to aid in evaluation of the need for substation modification. I'll look forward to staying in touch with both you and Gillian for future opportunities and possible collaboration. Thanks again for including me in your wonderful event.” “It was a pleasure and privilege to be part of the event that you all so ably hosted. I enjoyed the whole day and am glad to have had the chance to participate. Thanks again for having us and for all the effort you all put into the event and into your important work!” “Alissa, thanks for the positive feedback.You along with Gillian, Jerry and Curtis are to be commended for putting together such a great event.I was thrilled to be a part of it.” "The event was great and definitely a "must" for me going forward. There was a great mix of people from across the green space and I was able to network and connect with great entrepreneurs and investors. The setting was great and the overall experience is what you would expect from the high caliber groups putting on the event. " “Half the day into my first Clean Business Investment Summit, I knew I would be back for next years event! It was great to get such a wide-range of perspectives on the state of the clean-tech/green/social-enterprise sectors (both from the entrepreneurs and investors perspective) and with so many thought-leaders in one room, I really felt like I was at the epicenter of the industry. Most of all though, the networking was what set this event apart from other clean-biz events that I've attended before. Attending the event certainly opened some doors that otherwise would not have been open for my company had we not attended! Looking forward to next year!” “ I wanted to tell you and the extended team how totally impressed I was with the event. I thought there were some terrific ideas, presented really well, and that the quality of every aspect of the event was incredible.”
