Sustainable Investment
We are honored to be named as a Finalist and as the winner of the National Sustainability Award in the Clean Tech Open. This is the largest clean tech business competition in the world. Over 280 companies entered the competition in 2009. They prepared business plans and investor presentations with help from volunteer mentors, training in the Clean Tech Accelerator workshop, and many practice presentations. The business plans must clearly show the path to profitability and investment details. Judging of the business plans is done by professional investors, venture attorneys and management experts. Hydrovolts was named one of the 12 National Finalists, and is the winner of the National Sustainability Award.
Sustainability includes sharing best practices. Therefore we make available here the Sustainability chapter of our business plan for download (PDF format). This is the plan that won the National Sustainability Prize out of more than 280 competing clean tech companies. We hope it inspires others.
