Check Out OnGreen.com

I thought I’d put up a post about my buddies at OnGreen.com, whose purpose is to build the green economy by helping with the creation of innovative businesses. In large measure, OnGreen parallels the work that we do here, assisting entrepreneurs in cleantech to succeed in bringing their ideas to market, and connecting with sources of capital.

I met one of the founders, the much-accomplished Nikhil Jain, at his office in West Los Angeles a couple of weeks ago. I’m always impressed with folks who can reel off their mission statement with both complete precision and total effortlessness; it’s obvious how real and deeply abiding it must be in their lives.  And you can’t help liking his ultra-personable style, brimming with well-earned self-confidence.

When you visit OnGreen’s website, you’ll note that anyone can post whatever business plan he wants. I like this type of egalitarianism, though, obviously, it comes at a cost. I’ve certainly been approached with some business ideas that didn’t make a heck of a lot of sense. Having said that, the inquiries I made to some random selections on OnGreen left me far more impressed with what I found than I expected to be.   Again, I hope you’ll check them out.
