Congratulations to friend and longtime client, Neil Roth, for the launch of Xtreme Green Products, a new line of 100% electric eco-vehicles. The line currently includes jetboards, police mobility vehicles and 2-person electric motor scooters. What an innovative concept and important contribution to sustainability.

You can check out the complete product line at XtremeGreenProducts.com.

New York venture capitalist, Mark Davis, publishes a great blog for entrepreneurs looking to raise money through venture capital. I’d recommend a visit to his Entrepreneur’s Guide To Raising Venture Capital.

As I continue to add new articles to TheCreativeConnector.com, I thought it would be fun to take a moment and highlight some of my favorite posts, links and interviews from this past year.
