286_ Tech Startup of the Month
Jim Sears was researching renewable energy on the Internet and happened onto a review of the Aquatic Species Program, a 20-year study of algae as an energy source by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in Golden. The program showed a lot of promise, but ended in 1996 nonetheless.

"I said, ‘Wow, that’s amazing," remembered Sears, founder of Solix Biofuels. "I started to look into it and thought if it was this good, why aren’t we running around with algae in our tanks, so to speak, right now?

282_ Lloyd Lewan - Leadership Beyond Management
We live in a time of great division. Nations against nations – religions against religions, complicated competition with foreign countries. We have a growing underclass in the world and we really don’t know what to do with it. And there are so many other moral, scientific and economic dilemmas we face. As Lincoln said, “A house divided cannot stand.”

We must find men and women who can face these challenges with a much wiser set of denominators and understandings. Lloyd Lewan was the keynote speaker at the annual Colorado Ethics in Business Awards (CEBA). He had hundreds of attendees on the edge of their seats as he detailed prescriptions for leadership and ethics.

"The best guarantee for the future of this country of ethics, is to find and develop the finest leaders, for at the heart of any leader is and ethical base. I frankly believe leadership is the DNA of any nation, of any business, of any organization, or any home.”

You can listen to Dr. Lewan's entire address right here - 35 minutes from an exceptional program - Colorado Ethics in Business Awards Keynote Address.

Russ Farmer, SBIR Colorado, Exec. Director

280_ Mid Sized Companies Winning with Startups
Good ideas that could become great income producers are most often high risk. Researchers and scientists that have innovative projects on the bench that are funded by non-dilutive SBIR federal grants can have a challenging time commercializing their new invention. Companies in the $50 to $300 million range often don't have a budget for the high-risk research. This is a great win/win opportunity for all explains Russ Farmer, Executive Director of SBIR Colorado.
