An accredited investor is an individual with net worth, or joint net worth with that person's spouse, at the time of purchase, exceeds $1,000,000

OR

An individual with income in excess of $200,000 in each of the two most recent years or joint income with that person's spouse in excess of $300,000 in each of those years and has a resonable expectation of reaching the same income level in the current year.

What are feeds? I see "RSS", "XML", and "Atom" out there, but I don't know how I might use these links when I find them.

Feeds are a way for websites large and small to distribute their content well beyond just visitors using browsers. Feeds permit subscription to regular updates, delivered automatically via a web portal, news reader, or in some cases good old email. Feeds also make it possible for site content to be packaged into "widgets," "gadgets," mobile devices, and other bite-sized technologies that make it possible to display blogs, podcasts, and major news/sports/weather/whatever headlines just about anywhere.

Why is This a Good Thing?

Subscribing to feeds makes it possible to review a large amount of online content in a very short time. Feeds permit instant distribution of content and the ability to make it "subscribable." Advertising in feeds overcomes many of the shortcomings that traditional marketing channels encounter including spam filters, delayed distribution, search engine rankings, and general inbox noise.

How do I read feeds?

If you want to browse and subscribe to feeds, you have many choices. Today, there are more than 2,000 different feed reading applications, also known as "news aggregators" (for text, mostly) or "podcatchers" (for podcasts). There are even readers that work exclusively on mobile devices. Some require a small purchase price but are tops for ease-of-use and ship with dozens of feeds pre-loaded so you can explore the feed "universe" right away. Free readers are available as well; a search for "Feed reader" or "Feed aggregator" at popular search sites will yield many results. A handful of popular feed readers are listed at the bottom of this page. A typical interface for a feed reader will display your feeds and the number of new (unread) entries within each of those feeds. You can also organize your feeds into categories and even clip and save your favorite entries (with certain applications). If you prefer, you can use an online, web-based service to track and manage feeds. Online services give you the advantage of being able to access your feed updates anywhere you can find a web browser. Also, upgrades and new features are added automatically.

Partnership News & Updates

How to partner with us

The AlgaeVenture team is actively meeting with potential partners for all levels of the algae. Contact me to request more information and find out how you can work with AlgaeVenture Systems.

Spreading the word and growing partnerships

So much has happened in a short time. We have given a series of encore presentations, meeting individually and with groups, to foster partnerships to move the project forward aggressively.

System Prototype

Substantial progress has taken place on the creation of the first test cell. The foundation for the cell was constructed and subsequently covered with a liner. The initial plumbing for the unit has been connected, and on June 18th the cell was filled with water. Concurrently, a greenhouse and lab have been built near the test cell, and will be operational in the coming weeks. This rapid development has been matched by an intense research and design effort currently underway at AlgaeVS, Inc.

The Green Belt Coalition

The algae coalition which was launched at the AlgaeVS presentation on May 22 has also progressed well. This group has actively been meeting via teleconference and plans to announce at Fall conference to be held in November. Please visit http://www.greenbeltcoalition.org and sign up to help build a working group to facilitate the growth of an algae industry.

The Clear Focus of AlgaeVS’s AlgaeVenture Systems

AlgaeVS’s Algae Initiative Strategy

AlgaeVS has undertaken the development of the systems and technology related to hybrid-closed ponds that continuously simulates nature’s best productivity for growing algae based biomass in virtually any geographic location with the suitable resources. These systems are being designed at scale, with modularity that improves economics, while leveraging facility collocation as part of a sustainable waste to energy strategy. Solar energy is one contributing energy source, not the sole source. Our technologies are unique and various patents are being pursued.

This philosophy utilizes waste energies from collocated facilities including heat, with an additional requirement for suitable water-cooling resources (geothermal, river, or body of water), CO2 waste gas, and nutrient/organic wastes. The targeted industries are power generation, wastewater, livestock, food waste, biomass waste, landfill, and various industrial concerns. The resulting systems will provide resource conservation, improved water and air quality while producing large quantities of biomass for utilization for fuel, feed, food, fertilizer, and other advanced materials or products. This integrated strategy will result in a leap forward for sustainability strategies, which can be implemented by a variety of concerns.

AlgaeVS firmly believes the primary path forward for fuels from algae will require capital cost sharing with collocated facilities along with an evolutionary path to the profit floor of fuel. Justification of capital cost share comes from cleaner water and air through a variety of considerations, including: ecological, social, energy policies, and national security justifications.

It is our near term goal to establish 12-20 of these collocated facilities utilizing the expertise from various disciplines to simultaneously research, develop, engineer, the systems and processes at scale. The path forward is based on best practices relating to our specific and historical technologies along with vision of the viable ideal system of the future. Our long-term objective is to be a world leader in integrated algae technologies providing technology, designs, engineering, and systems that integrate primary algae systems and unique complementing subsystems.
