Early Stage Multi-Company Fund

It’s another exclusive for Startup Investor members.…

New Recommendation: Liquidity Nanotech Corporation
Dear Startup Investor: Most of us take clean water for granted. But in large swaths of the developing world, clean water is only a dream. I know. I’ve been to many places in Asia, Africa and Russia where the water was filthy. I’ve also marketed clean-water technology in these regions. These technologies all carried the “made in the USA” label.…
