Phoenix Corporate Finance Partners co-hosted a Cleantech dinner at the Westminster & Zander bar on May 13 with the law firm Field Fisher Waterhouse ("FFW").  Attendance included a number of blue-chip venture funds such as Accel Partners, Advent Ventures, Environmental Technology Fund and Fidelity Ventures, as well as a number of promising clean tech start-ups such as 2K Manufacturing, EcoSoft, Vogen Energy and Greenfuels.

Over dinner Omer Kutluoglu, CEO of 2K Manufacturing talked about his very recent fundraising experience, advised by Phoenix, where he focused primarily on the main reasons why he ended up with a successful Series A financing round.

The companies then presented a short business case to the VCs, which awarded them with marks for “financability” and “presentation”.  The “financability” award went to 2K, while the “presentation” award went to Ecosoft.
