January 20, 2007 A gathering of people involved and/or interested in Green Tech including Energy generation, transportation, construction, and efficiency technologies.
We meet on the 2nd Thursday of each month at (NEW TIME) 7:00PM (6:00 for networking). The meeting format:
1. Starts with attendees having the opportunity to announce Green Tech: business news, job openings, fundings, etc.
2. Presentations follow from several front range businesses who will share their new Green Tech or inventions focused on sustainable living (short presentation, short Q&A).
We hope to inspire involvement, share knowledge of Green Tech, and support ecopreneurs getting started. We provide a Green Tech ecosystem of eco-businesses, eco-Human capital, and eco-investors.

Ecopreneurship Definition
"Ecopreneurship is an existential form of business behavior committed to sustainability. Ecopreneurs are counter-cultural or social entrepreneurs who want to make a social statement, not just money. They benefit not only from free advertising, given their advocacy of a public good, but from a strong sense of individual and team motivation since their objective taps into social and political as well as economic needs." - From the book "Making Ecopreneurs: Developing Sustainable Entrepreneurship"
The Green Option
The green economy has limitless growth and many are discovering it can displace existing products and services with a new "green option". The newly minted ecopreneur is finding many opportunities becoming available with a captive audience riding on the heightened public awareness of sustainability. Ecopreneuers are not only leveraging the collective mindshare by providing "the green option", they are also promoting the cost-effective solution to their customers. New technology and new approaches to the new economy are reflected in our meeting/networking series.
