At breakfast with a friend this morning, we got to talking about opportunities in the alternative energy field — as the Wall St. Journal described it a couple of days ago. NanoSolar, a startup in Palo Alto backed by US Venture Partners and Benchmark Capital, is one of the companies they mentioned. This is exciting stuff — and it’s interesting to see the relatively long incubation process the company had to go through prior to closing a major financing round with top tier VC’s.
