    Have a growing list of PE funds and angels seeking Cleantech ventures as well as many new ventures I met recently, coming to network.

       Well-organized, great speakers. Fantastic venue. Thanks for getting it sponsored and keeping it free. 
    •  First of all, kol hakavod on getting this done in such style. Well Done !!!! Here's some feedback for future events: * Presentation level- Get someone [I volunteer] to be a Presentation Police, ensuring these entrepreneurs know how give a half decent presentation. I am certain, that since some of them pulled off a bad act infront of a live crowd, they certainly did not get their ideas across the video feed all the way to Boston. * Reduce the speaking time to 10mins and enable a longer Q&A. This way, they have less time to make a fool of themselves... * Enable presenters to plug into a mike attached to their bodies, so that they are not stuck behind the podium, dealing with the complexities of working the buttons. * A final note: We, the guests are missing out on walking the room and not knowing which people are the geniouses with new ideas, seeking capital. Have the 'entrepreneurs' wear a different colour label so that they can be easily identified. This is critical !! 
    •  Can we get the presentations in the for of files?

       In a few words: optimistic, interesting and educational. Gene, Jonathan and team did an extraordinary job of combining an open, informal meet-and-greet business event together with a healthy dose of Powerpoint-style elevator pitches. A very worthwhile format -- I hope it will be repeated occasionally. 
    •  I was surprised from the large number of participants. 
    •  Everything was OK. The firms presented, the people I met and the coffee. I have, though one comment the hall was somehow too small. All the best, Yossi Schwartz 
    •  Interesting new concept. However, there were too many presenting start-ups. From my experience (with very similar events that I hosted), three pitches is the max, though you can add a short entertaining keynote as well. Another thing - A couple of the presenters needed practice before presenting to an audience. Otherwise, it was great. 
    •  The event featured a positive, welcoming, warm and most important, productive environment :-) thank you! 
    •  Networking was very good and lectures were quite interesting. lecture room was, let's say, suboptimal. 
    •  We could share real clean-tech stories that depict the Israeli panorama of the sector. Being aware of the status of those stories, we may better interfere, better contribute, and better invest ourselves. 
    •  Congratulations Very interesting presentations, good rythm, excellent opportunity for networking - I can't wait for the next meet up ! Thanks for all the efforts behind this success Best regards Dr Remy Bitoun Stratech Associates 
    •  This was my first meeting. I was very excited by the large crowd of people sharing the same concern for Clean Tech in Israel. 
    •  The event was a great success. Very interesting, the ideal place to mingle with people of this Mindset. 
    •  very good organization, great oppertunity to see and hear 
    •  - Great place for cleantech startup to present - It will be good to combine the startups with technology discussions

       Good & effective organization; good networking. Nice presentations - though most of them lacked technical/technology overview/depth. Lior 
    •  Good turn up. Interesting show cased companies. Would have liked to see some presentation by the investment side of the map. Place was a little too small.
