It is important now to look to one of the founding fathers of GreenTech as much by his investment career as a media weight. In March 2007, three years ago, his speech at TED was one of the most noted of the seminar and the arrest of her 15 years, "Dad, your generation created this problem then you've got to solve "had been widely reported .. The name of John Doerr tells you nothing and yet perhaps it is the venture capitalist behind some nuggets of the internet for years 90 (Netscape, Google, Amazon and others). Where you are not excusable is that he has already appeared on the video GIG CBS Gloom Energy, because of course it is the leading investor in the pool project. Seriously, this famous speech - a copy to the end of this post of course - I think is one of the founding events of the "movement" GreenTech, so if there is one video you would bother to watch to understand the challenges of GreenTech, it is unavoidable. Beyond the oratory professionalism, accuracy of the examples, the quality of the slides, and even some tears and a standing ovation final, substantive discourse and the accuracy of the subject are clear.
The young graduate took his weapons in the 70s at Intel with an MBA from Harvard in passing. It is then recognized as a quality engineer (he still holds some patents in a personal capacity) for its commercial qualities. He joined Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers (KPCB) in 1980.

-> It's for Ann Howland Doerr
Where many would have stopped thinking and well deserved by buying a consciousness shaped personal foundation to a few million dollars a year, our friend John decided to return the money on the table. Today, the positions he has taken are less known but equally revolutionary to my taste. We already mentioned Bloom Energy, but it is also the instigator of Amyris, this group of researchers who Berckley by inventing a vaccine against malaria economic also laid hands on a more than promising bio-fuel or Miasolé, a company that develops solar panels facing the rooftops as the carpet. In short, the list of companies GreenTech portfolio is simply amazing. Note that KPCB also continues its investments in ICT in particular via M2Z which aims to provide a free and unlimited access to the Internet throughout the U.S. (my sweet dream ...)
Successful venture capitalist, therefore, the main partner of the firm's most famous work, he became a guru well beyond its land of preference since it has now entered her in Washington. Strong supporter of the Democratic Party, he does not hesitate to use her fame to support causes dear to her. He has repeatedly campaigned for the establishment of scholarships for research on stem cells, and serves on the board of the ONE Campaign launched at the initiative of Bono. Human influence network and recognized, it is propelled to the top of the list of Forbes Midas shop in 2008 to reward the best "dealmakers" who turn everything they touch into gold. Concerning ecology, it is one of the instigators of a California carbon market as a very good description Dominique Nora and the famous proposition 87 passed by California and introducing a tax on consumption of fossil fuels to finance research in renewable energy.
Now that you've had a taste of the pedigree of the man, when John Doerr calls for green technologies such as "probably the largest economic opportunity of the century ', is what you would be tempted to believe? It remains me that KPCB has also experienced tremendous failures and did not fail to be seriously criticized in 2000 and 2001 during the Internet bubble burst. So what motivates John today, he whose fortune is assured? He likes to answer these questions by explaining the difference between a mercenary and a missionary, like between the thirst for money and the desire to give meaning to the money we make. Our friend made a fortune, now he seeks simply to meet his daughter.
