FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
MAKING A REAL DIFFERENCE
Rex Northen | Executive Director, Cleantech Open
In eight short years, the Cleantech Open has grown from a Bay Area organization to one that serves
cleantech entrepreneurs nationally and globally.
It’s all possible, of course, because of you. You are the Cleantech Open – every one of you who mentors a
company or volunteers at registration, or buys a ticket to the Global Forum.
Ultimately, of course, the Cleantech Open and this event are all about the entrepreneurs with the big ideas.
By tomorrow evening’s closing ceremony, 865 companies with big ideas will have graduated from the
United States Accelerator. With your help, their chances of success and their shot at making an impact, are
dramatically enhanced. Over 50% of graduate companies who are still in business (and the majority still are)
have now raised third-party capital. They’ve created thousands of jobs. Their technologies address some of
the world’s most pressing challenges – and that’s no idle claim: some of those technologies, as you’ll see
over the next two days, are truly remarkable.
The Global Forum is your unique chance to meet all these innovators in person. Vote for the most promising
in the Demo Theater and on the main stage. Cheer them on at the final judging on Thursday afternoon, and
the Academy Awards of Cleantech that evening. And please thank them for spending their time and talents
on big ideas that really can make a real difference.

the dedication, vision and ambition of these Cleantech Open entrepreneurs looking to change the world.
For more than 40 years, University of Phoenix has exhibited the same spirit of innovation, providing the opportunity for hundreds of thousands

program curriculums as well as providing his insight directly to University of Phoenix business students, a tremendous resource in sharing how
business startups can successfully launch and operate in today’s economic climate.
True partnerships like the one between Cleantech Open and University of Phoenix can do more than just benefit both parties; they can

FROM OUR NATIONAL SPONSOR
PARC, a Xerox company, is deeply engaged in technology development for energy and clean water. And PARC has a long history of helping
startups. That’s why we partnered with the Cleantech Open to bring the best cleantech technologies to market.
Startups have access to talent, coaching, and funding from VCs, angels, and accelerators. But what’s often missing is access to capital-intensive
infrastructure and specialized expertise. PARC’s open innovation services can help startups accelerate time-to-market and reduce some of the risks
they face early on. When working with startups, we go beyond typical entrepreneur-in-residence or incubator support by co-developing custom
technology and augmenting internal capabilities, helping companies avoid some of the pitfalls in the R&D phase and create new business options.
When PARC became an independent company in 2002, cleantech was identified as one of the first opportunities to use our world-class
competencies and expertise in order to impact important global challenges. Today, PARC’s cleantech and energy programs have delivered
breakthroughs in battery management and performance, clean water, algae dewatering, solar efficiency, data center energy savings, vehicle power
system control, direct-carbon fuel cells, cooling systems, and more.
Cleantech startups working with PARC can conquer challenges, advance technology, secure funding, and maximize their work because of our deep
history of innovation, intellectual property (IP), commercialization expertise, industry-leading team of experts, and internal research capabilities,
equipment, and prototyping. PARC’s track record of seeding and creating technologies through the startup ecosystem includes dozens of
successes such as PowerCloud Systems, HexaTech, glō-USA, Power Assure, and Powerset.
If you’re a cleantech startup or an investor interested in working with PARC, please email us at [email protected]. www.parc.com
We’re committed to being a leader in energy management, and
to doing what’s right for our environment for future generations.

Revolutionary reduction in the cost of solar water heating
Skyven is pioneering a new systems technology that combines
solar power with solar water heating to achieve revolutionary cost
reduction on water heating. The goal is to achieve a levelized cost
that is the lowest of any method of heating water including the
burning of natural gas -- all while producing electricity at a cost
that remains on the forefront of rapidly declining PV prices. This
is achieved with a rooftop system that concentrates sunlight by a
factor of more than 500, allowing for the harvest of energy with up
to 70% combined efficiency even in cold climates.

Landfil Gas to Liquid Fuels
Our proprietary gas to liquid process converts naturally produced
landfill gas (LFG) to “drop in” renewable hydrocarbon fuels specific
to the customer needs. We couple a patent pending Fischer
Tropsch (FT) eggshell catalyst to an innovative process design,
incorporating a novel tri-reforming reaction to reduce the
troublesome impurities found in crude bio-derived gases and
produce desired syngas for the FT reaction. Our unique synergistic
design transforms an environmentally harmful waste gas (landfill
gas) into a profitable product thus alleviating many problems
associated with accumulating municipal solid waste (MSW) in
landfills and providing a domestic, sustainable, green fuel.

Modula S is a high quality, factory produced, hyper-efficient
NetZero modular building construction system. Modula S buildings
are made of large interlocking, super-insulated modules that
glue together with concrete. The Modula S assembly integrates
renewable energy sources and efficient subsystems, making a
Modula S building its own independent, self-sufficient micro-grid.
A Modula S building costs 10% less to build and 40% less to operate
than a traditional building. Our buildings are faster to build, cost
less to construct and maintain, and are higher quality, resulting in
better buildings for less money. Modula S was recently named a
winner of the 2013 Defense Energy Technology Challenge. We are
currently marketing to the Defense sector and are seeking funding
