In the race toward greener technologies, blue aims to be king.
Just weeks after announcements from Autodesk that it would be taking its startup program across the Atlantic and from Veolia that its new incubator program would be looking to partner with cleantech startups around the world, IBM announced this morning its Global Entrepreneur Initiative, a program of such scale and depth that it almost seemed like Big Blue is trying to prove something.
The program takes what IBM did with its Solution Architecture for Energy and Utilities Framework (SAFE) rollout earlier this year and expands it to different industries and more startups. The SAFE program is an enterprise software made to be compatible on the one hand with any company’s smart grid application or service and on the other with any utility’s infrastructure. When it was released in September, IBM called the software the “glue” of the smart grid.
According to Drew Clark, director of strategy with IBM’s Venture Capital Group, the Global Entrepreneur Initiative takes that same idea — IBM as the infrastructure and thus the connector between new technologies and end users — and runs with it. ...

Nabers Group http://www.Nabers.com
Looking to fund a new franchise or personal business venture with your retirement funds?
Authors Jeff Nabers and Phoebe Chongchua (Five Steps to Freedom: How to Cut Your Dependence on Institutions and Escape Financial Slavery) suggest that using an investment structure known as Rollovers As Business Startups (ROBS) to fund a business startup or franchise is a prohibited transaction.
Jeff Nabers is CEO of Nabers Group, an unconventional planning company in Denver, Colorado. His research and personal dealings with the Department of Labor compel him to recommend against the ROBS strategy.

This week sees one of the UK’s most talented website design teams FurlongDesign.com (www.furlongdesign.com) announce a ground-breaking new concept in providing small and medium sized businesses with a top quality website for absolutely no initial cost.
A good website that will perform and generate maximum sales and inquiries for a business will generally require an upfront investment of several thousand pounds, sometimes considerably more. Because of this, many businesses look to find a cheaper so-called ‘web designer’, or even worse, ask a friend to knock something up for a few hundred pounds. Both options inevitably prove an expensive mistake as good website design costs time and money and requires the input of a skilled design team with the know-how to produce a successful profit making site.This week sees one of the UK’s most talented website design teams... more

30 Under 30
America's Coolest Young Entrepreneurs
Highlights:
For all of these entrepreneurs, college campuses provided invaluable free resources in a safe, supportive atmosphere.
First and foremost, they are tribe-builders. By that, we mean that they seem to have an innate talent, and an almost compulsive desire, to draw others into their entrepreneurial orbits and to continually extract from them wisdom and advice. Parents, professors, mentors, investors, and complete strangers are all invested in the success of these companies.
They are passionate, scrappy, and persistent, yet seek advice and counsel.
A door to the White House was opened, e-mail addresses were exchanged, and a promise of open dialogue was made. Which makes us think that maybe the most influential tribe of all is the one we honor right here every year on the 30 Under 30 list.30 Under 30

I keep trying to tell Pixie that she can't help someone remotely without installing some type of software that will allow her to do so cross-platform. GoToAssist will do this easily for her. I wanted to demonstrate the software for her, and for all of you. I decided to help Danny Minick with some questions he had about MSConfig. When's the last time you used MSConfig to toggle any settings? What did you change?I keep trying to tell Pixie that she can't help someone remotely without... more

Over a dozen startups are working on ways to use mirrors and lenses to concentrate sunlight hundreds of times onto tiny, highly efficient solar cells.
We’re all familiar with standard photovoltaic solar panels, and many of us are starting to become acquainted with solar thermal tech that uses the sun’s heat to generate power, but there’s also a third option. Called concentrating photovoltaic technology (CPV) the systems are meant to cut back on one of the most expensive parts of traditional PV: the silicon-based solar panel.
