Cairn Cross, Co-founder and Managing Director of FreshTracks, speaks to the Burlington Free Press about investment activity in the alternative energy sector. Responding to a question about the potential for an increase in alternative energy startups in Vermont, Cross says, "We are seeing many alternative energy and green technology companies forming or expanding in Vermont. We funded Draker Laboratories (monitoring and performance management systems for commercial solar arrays is one of their products) in Burlington in the third quarter of last year and they are rapidly accelerating revenue this year. We remain interested in investing in the alternative energy technology sector and are actively looking at the business plans of young companies."
