• Investors continue to move into cleantech private equity, with the news today that Paladin Private Equity Partners is going to be launching a new cleantech-focused private equity firm, targeting $200M in total commitments, with Calpers providing a $40M lead.  The company will target California-based small- and mid-cap investments.
   

 
• On the other side of the lake, UK-based VC Sigma Technologies announced the creation of a new Sustainable Energies Fund, targeting companies in the east of Scotland.  The fund has completed a first close of 6 million pounds.

 
• The good folks at Cleantech Venture Network are bringing us a new useful tool, as they announced that the Cleantech Capital Group LLC will begin publishing a Cleantech Index on the Amex.  The index will include 75 companies that derive 50% or more of their revenues from cleantech businesses.
