USF MBA Podcast

Nth Power is a unique Venture Capital firm specializing in providing funding for new alternative energy technologies. In this presentation, Bryant sheds light on why VC firms are actively investing in this rapidly growing sector. A recent article from the Wall Street Journal shows that that the rising price for oil is not only pushing the market capitalization of the oil-and-gas sector upwards, but it is also increasing the cost-effectiveness of alternative energy technologies. Bryant’s discussion also highlights practical examples from its Portfolio Companies. We were amazed to find out that some of Nth Power’s investors are OPEC members!
