Venrock干將單飛，瞄準中國清潔能源
|
????風投公司Venrock專注于能源領(lǐng)域的副總裁馬修?諾丹近日辭職，與林志華(啟明創(chuàng)投前投資合伙人)以及格雷格?馬努爾(曾任Amyris Biotech高級副總裁以及美國國務卿康多莉扎?賴斯的前能源特別顧問)共同建立了一家新的公司。 ????新成立的公司并非又一家風投公司，而是一家專注于中國的清潔能源項目發(fā)展公司(可能通過與美國公司合資，或者其他類似的合作)。公司的名字叫MNL Partners，目前已獲得一些機構(gòu)和個人投資者的支持(細節(jié)尚未披露)。預計諾丹將保留Venrock在Boston Power和FINsix的董事會席位。 ????諾丹決定離開Venrock之際，正是這家公司似乎正在弱化能源投資之時。合伙人麥特?特里維西克去年底也離開了Venrock，關(guān)于他個人未來的計劃目前尚無消息。 ????諾丹和特里維西克都曾參與Nest Labs項目(Nest Labs生產(chǎn)的恒溫器、煙霧探測器等智能家用電器很受歡迎)。目前來看，合伙人大衛(wèi)?派克曼正在承擔這方面的職責。（財富中文網(wǎng)）?? |
????Matthew Nordan has stepped down as an energy-focused vice president with VC firm Venrock, in order to launch a new firm alongside Chivas Lam (ex-venture partner with Qiming) and Greg Manuel (former SVP at Amyris Biotech and ex-special advisor for energy to Sec of State Condoleezza Rice). ????Not another VC firm, but rather a clean energy project development company focused on China (likely via joint ventures or other such arrangements with U.S. companies). It's called MNL Partners, and does have some backing from institutional and individual investors (no details being disclosed yet). Expect Nordan to maintain his Venrock board seats with both Boston Power and FINsix. ????Nordan's decision to leave Venrock comes as the firm appears to be deemphasizing energy investing. Partner Matt Trevithick also left the firm at year-end, although there is no word yet on his future plans. ????Both Nordan and Trevithick had helped work on Nest Labs -- a popular maker of smart home appliances like thermostats and smoke detectors -- for Venrock, but it now looks like partner David Pakman is assuming that relationship. |
