There's a new opportunity in clean technology investments, according to venture capitalist Aaron Fyke , the head of a new, Pasadena-based venture capital investment fund, Thin Line Capital (www.thinlinecapital.com). In 2009, the finance world fell apart, and the venture world fell apart, and I returned to Pasadena.

Minnie Ingersoll: I grew up here in Southern California, in Pasadena, and have been in the Bay Area for a number of years, and just became a new partner at TenOneTen Ventures. I think the vision and the selling, for investors, for employees, and for customers, is really a core skill. Tell us a bit about yourself?

I see it first hand in Los Angeles where given the growth of YouTube networks the worlds of art & technology are colliding. In LA companies used to be concentrated near Pasadena or in the San Fernando Valley. I’m sure there’s a lot of truth to that. And it’s not just the movement from Palo Alto to San Francisco.

We also found that our customers didn't want to outsource their calls overseas, because they were worried that people calling for transportation services would either be offended, or find it hard to communicate with people speaking with an accent. Dan Tamkin: Veolia had been a customer of ours for awhile.

Historically we were near Beverly Hills in Los Angeles and throughout the 1990s and early 2000s this was fine since there was not strong locus in LA with some great deals in Pasadena, downtown, San Fernando Valley as well as on the Westside in Santa Monica. And we had to shift to be with our customers and prospects.

That's kind of like getting a job at Harvard--the Art Center College of Design, which is in Pasadena, is one of the most respected art colleges in the world. If we had both still be in Los Angeles, we'd been too busy to start a company, and wouldn't have need to start a company. What has been the driver of the growth and sales?

One of the big, open source successes in both Southern California and the software world was Gluecode Software , which was based in Los Angeles and acquired by IBM in 2005. All of those three vary by customer, but we're seeing that we're headed towards a mix of service offerings and a mix of licenses between commercial and open source.

Pasadena-based BigStage (www.bigstage.com) is one of those rare companies that has taken technology developed from university research, and is now bringing that technology to the commercial market. The bulk of my work experience in my adult life has been on the operational side, so it's not unusual to go back.
