Remember when?

Overdue to provide an update on deals and such, but in the meantime I happened to run across this listing of venture capital and angels groups involved in cleantech... Three years ago.

A nice, tidy, short list, huh?  Figured I’d rescue it from the memory hole, so I’ll also cut and paste the list below.

It would pretty much be impossible to do such a list today, when just about everyone at least SAYS they’re investing in the sector now.
