OnGreen Event in Hollywood — Want to Demo There?

March 12th, 2011 by Zachary Shahan

OnGreen is a leading and fast-growing social marketplace for cleantech. Connecting the best cleantech ideas and entrepreneurs in the world to investors, highly-needed funding, and helpful professionals in supportive fields, OnGreen is offering a tremendous service greatly needed at this time.

As “Serial Entrepreneurs,” the founders of OnGreen know the challenges green entrepreneurs face and are trying to help address those for countless others.

You can post your company’s funding pitch and cleantech investors from around the world for free on the OnGreen site. The site is basically an online store for cleantech investors and the vendors (cleantech companies) are allowed to set up shop for free.

Here’s More Info on How the Site is Working So Far:

Nearly 250 companies have set up shop in the OnGreen marketplace so far, “representing more than $1.8 Billion in funding opportunities and $70 million in previous rounds.”

The company’s last two surveys found that “more than half of the start-ups who post hear from prospective investors as a result, and site stats show that the typical deal receives 150-200 views within a week of posting.”

“More than 20% of our marketplace traffic comes from outside the U.S., giving you access to funding sources beyond your personal network and the typical VC/angel crowd.”

Upcoming Event in Hollywood — Chance to Demo There

“A handful of companies will be selected from the site to present at our upcoming launch party on March 22 at the Renaissance Hotel in Los Angeles,” OnGreen reports. “Our last event had more than 200 attendees, 20 investment firms, Chevron, SoCal Edison, the City of LA and a HUD undersecretary — and this one is going to be bigger. It will also include a discussion of accessing cleantech markets and capital in China.”

Learn more about OnGreen here or on its site.

Go to the OnGreen Marketplace to post a deal. Here are some details on that from OnGreen’s President/COO Stanley Holt:

Once there, click on the Post a Deal button. The marketplace and all other start-up tools are completely free, but you do need to invest about 30 minutes to register and do a thorough posting. Note that OnGreen reserves the right to remove skimpy postings to keep our investor members happy.

And if you are interested in showcasing your company at our 3/22 event, let me know by email (demoday@ongreen.com) after you’ve posted your deal.
