The Cleantech Angel Network of Networks was founded in 2009 by three global partners who recognized the need for early stage private investment to catalyze the growth of the cleantech industry. The urgent need to address climate change, natural resource shortages, and a growing global population accelerate the need to cultivate innovative solutions in a sector that seeks to address some of the world’s most pressing challenges. The Keiretsu Forum Cleantech Committee (K4CT), CalCEF Clean Energy Angel Fund (CalCEF Angel Fund), and Kuwait Petroleum

Energy Ventures Inc. (KPCEVI) have come together to bridge their respective networks, access to capital, and market insight to enhance the partners’ collective agenda to catalyze the growth of the cleantech industry by supporting leading ideas and entrepreneurs. This Network of Networks helps to bridge the early stage capital funding gap and create a leading
coalition of Angel investors dedicated to catalyzing clean technology innovation.
