Khosla Ventures Investments

VC Ratings blog provides a list of 26 renewable energy startups that Vinod Khosla's - Khosla Ventures' has invested in. He is well known for his investments in biofuel related companies, but the list reveals a much broader scope. Many, if not most, of these companies have a long way to go before they pay off, and some will not make it, but it interesting to see what he is doing. Here are the categories he uses and the specific companies (except for 5 that he labeled as stealth) that he has invested in.

Thanks to the tip from Rob Day of Cleantech Investing.

This man is a grade A scam artist.

I think it's great to invest in different forms of clean energy. I believe in the health of our future and I think we as humans have the ability to create a clean clean world.

I agree that many of those companies are clearly scams to anyone who knows anything about the technologies (or lack thereof) involved, but I don't think Khosla is a scam artist - merely naive.

wondering what his thoughts are on the FUEL CELL sector

I don't know anything about him being a scam artist, but I do know that he has the vision to see the future. Energy will be the biggest market the world has ever seen.

FYI LOWEST COST SOLAR POWER SYSTEM WITH REVOLUTIONARY STEAM GENERATOR .NO TURBINE BLADES. IAUS.OB . MAJOR DEMONSTRATION 3 WEEKS.

ALGAE GROWTH BREAKTHROUGH FOR BIODIESEL AND ANIMAL FEED .ALL PROCESSES SOLVED . GREENSTAR RESOUURCES GSPI .TWO LARGE CUSTOMERS ON BOARD .

The most effective energy source is being completely overlooked in this forum! It Pebble Bed Nuclear Power. China and South Africa are aggressively pursuing this technology. The distinctive thing about it is that it can not melt down like conventional nuclear systems that utilize water over control rods. HTR reactors are the future.

My mission is to bring clean energy production to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Wind, waste wood to ethanol and nuclear would be a perfect fit for the U.P. We have cheep land, a ready and willing workforce and a state government that is motivated to work with new ventures. I am a teacher. We are closing schools because people are moving to urban areas for work. This would be a win for everone involved.

Yes, energy will be a HUGE market! Thanks for sharing the list.
