Solar Night Buys Farmergy: Mark Green Launches TeraVista

Mark Green has set his sights on what is projected to be a $3 trillion market over the next two decades -- the trading of carbon credits.

To sharpen his focus on this emerging market, Green has sold the assets of Farmergy Inc., a company he founded in October 2006, to Solar Night Industries Inc. He now is raising capital for TeraVista Systems, the reformulated holding company of Farmergy. TeraVista is developing software to assist in the documentation and trading of credits for carbon emissions.

"To get to market faster on that, we needed a stronger focus as a company," said Green, who is chief executive of TeraVista. "We had a lot of momentum going with the Farmergy brand, but we were spread too thin. To better serve the marketplace and our investors, we decided to spin it out."  (more...)

Local Entrepreneurs Make Their Pitches at Invest Midwest

If alternative energy is this year's Next Big Thing, then 13 Midwestern companies should have no trouble raising the $76.7 million they came here to find.

The baker's dozen were participants in Wednesday's Invest Midwest venture capital conference, an annual gathering of entrepreneurs with ideas and investors willing to take risks.

In recent years, the conference has divided the entrepreneurs into two groups, one for life sciences and one for information technology. This year, it added an alternative energy track that featured breakthroughs in everything from batteries to biofuel crops, and from electric vehicles to electricity conservation.

Mark Heesen, president of the National Venture Capital Association, told 300-plus attendees that "clean tech," the industry jargon for alt-energy plays, is indeed a good place to be seeking money. The amount of money going into the sector has tripled in the last couple of years, he said, but still represents just 7.5 percent of all venture capital investments.

That leaves plenty of room to grow. "I absolutely think this is an area that is ripe for venture capital investments," Heesen said. "This is an extremely expensive area, it is extremely long-term and it is extremely government-oriented. If you are not willing to commit a lot of money over a lot of years, and deal with a very complex regulatory process, then you shouldn't be in this space." (more...)

TeraVista Systems Sells Farmergy™ Brand and Key Technology Assets to focus on the Carbon Credit Marketplace

Saint Louis, MO – February 12, 2008 – TeraVista Systems, an environmental technology solutions company, announced a deal with Solar Night Industries (OTC: SLND.PK) to acquire key assets of their Farmergy entity. The deal includes the Farmergy™ brand and marketing materials, customer databases and specifically the patent-pending SmartEnergy PRO™ energy planning technology application.

Mark Green, CEO of TeraVista Systems stated “The sale of the Farmergy assets to Solar Night Industries strengthens the go-to-market focus of the Farmergy brand, through the integration of operations and synergies of both companies’ operational structures.”

Solar Night Industries is a renewable energy company formed to accelerate the adoption of Modern Energy Solutions. Farmergy was founded with a minority investment by Solar Night Industries in 2006, with the realization that there was a channel-specific opportunity for providing clean, modern energy solutions in the agricultural and rural segment.

The sale of Farmergy allows TeraVista Systems to focus solely on providing software products and patented solutions within the carbon credit marketplace, sustainability management arena and administrative side of the renewable energy industry. On the heels of a successful build and sale of the SmartEnergy PRO™ application, the company has accelerated development of a new platform that will streamline the Carbon Credit commodity trading process for aggregators and traders. Separately from the asset sale, TeraVista Systems has been retained to continue managing the technology solutions for Solar Night Industries and will serve as an exclusive licensor of the SmartEnergy PRO™ application for non-competing markets of Solar Night Industries.

TeraVista Systems has been providing technology development and consulting services since January 2007, including working with The Keystone Center, www.keystone.org, a neutral, non-profit organization that specializes in facilitating scientific and policy outcomes that are enabled by expert science, careful convening and skilled process. The Keystone Center has launched a new agriculture sustainability initiative with members from producer and conservation organizations and businesses throughout the agricultural supply chain. This initiative’s primary objective is identifying practices for increasing production agriculture’s sustainability with a focus on results. Once the practices have been identified, growers will have diverse, economically viable choices to employ in order to achieve the broadest possible adoption. TeraVista Systems was selected in early 2007 as the technology partner to build a web-based delivery platform to facilitate of grower registration and participation, and knowledge resource sharing based on key outcomes.

“Our focus as a company has been on reducing and managing environmental impacts by building applications and strategies that reduce the complexities and cost of accessing and utilizing valuable data needed to achieve environmental, social and economic sustainability. The ultimate goal is that our clients and their customers save time and money while increasing productivity and profitability.” Green states, “You can expect to see the launch of several other programs from TeraVista Systems in 2008 that will drive personal and corporate accountability in these areas.”
