It's offical, VC AND CEO...
Regular readers have noticed my recent turn to alternative energy. It has gone much further than investing interest. I have drunk so much of the kool-aide that I have decided to leave the cushy confines of Venture Capital and head back into operations as CEO of Seattle Biodiesel. The Seattle Times did a good story about it today: The Seattle Times: Business & Technology: The future of fuel: It smells like popcorn. I will maintain my involvement with Ignition Partners as a Veture Partner on the boards of companies I have already invested in and when doing new technology deals.
I really believe that alternative energy has suffered from a lack of investment and real innovation. Hopefully in some small way, I can help with that by building the biodiesel industry.

Roll up the sleeves time again. Good for you Martin. All best to you and Seattle Biodiesel. Hope we can expect to hear some accounts from the trenches. Back to work.
