Clean Tech Gets Funding

As buzzwords go, while "Green" gets the ink, "Clean Tech" gets the money. PricewaterhouseCoopers reports that 3Q07 VC investments in Clean Tech companies numbered 62 and totaled $844M- over 10% of the total VC pie ($7.1B!). And just as I was about to claim that the phrase "Clean Tech" itself was becoming so ubiquitous as to lose its independent meaning, Inc. did a nice job of describing such start-ups as "alternative energy, conservation and recycling."

So Facebook is the "it" company of the year (our last Fast Company link, I promise...for today!) but you can get funding for your recycling business!
