Back in November, 2009, I posted a blog entitled “5 Minutes with Eric Hansen of August Ventures.” Well, another firm raised their hand and claimed the name, so instead of fighting about it, Eric did the smart thing and changed the name of the firm to Portas Ventures. The investment thesis and ideas are the same – focused on renewable energy and sustainable approaches to reducing energy consumption. The firm is also focused on companies in the western U.S.
At Highway 12 Ventures, we are still excited about another venture firm in Boise and the possibilities it brings to entrepreneurs and companies in the region. Congratulations to Eric and now he can focus on these potential investments instead of name and website changes.
