An accredited investor is someone who has $1,000,000 of net assets or $300,000 in earnings each of the last two years. If you are not an accredited investor please disregard this page and refer to Univenture.com for information relating to the company. We are not taking any investment from non-accredited investors.

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.

Institutional Collaborators

With the University of Cincinnati, a proposal was submitted to Third Frontier Advanced Energy Program for the development of processes for the increased production of biofuels and value added products from algae biomass residuals. A technical development research program would include algae growth that would be directed at optimizing production of high lipid content algae appropriate for Ohio; Pyrolysis and gasification studies directed at process development for processing biomass residuals for the production of liquid, gaseous, and solid fuels, and other value-added products; and cellulosic conversion studies directed at process development for the production of liquid (ethanol) fuels from biomass residuals.

With Ohio University, a proposal was submitted to the Third Frontier Advanced Energy Program for water management in algae cultivation systems. The use of bioreactor technology for the purpose of “carbon recycling” results in a significantly enhanced conversion of CO2 into biomass using micro algae while reducing CO2 emission for industrial processes. This collaboration would investigate the critical challenges in water resource management of engineered algae cultivation systems.

With the University of Toledo, a proposal was submitted to the Third Frontier Advanced Energy Program to perform research of advanced energy conversion materials with nanostructures to promote algae growth. The research goal of this project is to develop advanced nanostructured energy conversion materials with the function of promoting algae growth.

This team of collaborators submitted a proposal to the Third Frontier Wright Projects program to build a Multi-Species Algae Bioreactor Facility on the campus of Ohio Northern University in Ada. The proposed effort seeks to develop the technology required for a loosely controlled algae growing system that will allow multiple algae species to thrive within the bioreactor environment.

This team of collaborators submitted a proposal to the Third Frontier Research Commercialization Program for a sustainable infrastructure system that, when fully implemented, would use an integrated and synergistic system of technologies to provide waste removal, clean water, energy and food on a small footprint of less than 5 acres. What brings this diverse group of organizations together is a common goal of developing sustainable infrastructures that can lead to development of a sustainable community by ensuring that the development of a zoo, community, or nation makes smart infrastructure improvements that do not deplete natural resources. Therefore, the transition and adoption of policies and actions that rely on renewable resources figure heavily into the development of sustainable infrastructures including the zoo project which AlgaeVS and the collaborators want to replicate around the globe.

This team of collaborators submitted two proposals to the Third Frontier Advanced Energy Project to create the Ohio Algae Industry (OAI) to supply economical renewable energy and chemical raw materials. Ohio has the academic expertise, political will, and private sector support to design and build the OAI that will produce northern algae biomass by photosynthetic conversion of carbon dioxide. Microbial, renewable algae biomass will be converted to biofuels and chemical raw material feedstock, while circumventing the existing problems with agricultural plant-based operations.
